MetaXplode Description

Free and open source e-book organizer MetaXplode is a free and open source, simple e-book organizer, an Automatic Meta Data Generator for Electronic Books. The MetaXplode Browser lets you browse a catalog to find e-books based on book subject matters. The browsing catalog is based on Amazon BrowseNodes. MetaXplode mainly works with PDF and CHM files and employs open JAVA libraries to extract and manipulate these file formats. MetaXplode uses PDFBox-0.7.3 and CHMPane_alpha2 open source libraries to extract text from e-books. Using Regex, ISBN(s) are identified and extracted from the text. Using the ISBN(s) found, REST-based requests are sent to Amazon ECS4.0 Web Service to retrieve XML-based meta data about the e-book. The meta data is then compared and validated with the original data and stored in the file system along with three cover sizes and the original e-book. There is a master XML file in the project which is the Amazon hierarchical BrowseNode system. Each time an e-book is updated, its ISBN is added to this master XML file, so the browsing section of the project can graphically let users browse the organized e-books and open the e-book file if they want. Requirements: · Java What's New in This Release: · Works with Amazon signed requests. The older version will no longer work by Amazon web services as requests were not signed before.
