             Summary: Non-semantic extraction of supplemental categories
                 Key: TIKA-2108
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2108
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Bug
         Environment: tika-app-1.13.jar, tika-server-1.13.jar
            Reporter: Xavier Perseguers
            Priority: Minor


When extracting metadata for a file with categories, the comma (or semi-colon - 
according to the IPTC specification) -separated list of categories is extracted 
as a blank space-separated list of terms.

Example with https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3177102/sample.jpg

```
java -jar tika-app-1.13.jar --xml sample.jpg | grep Category
<meta name="Supplemental Category(s)" content="Fribourg Cathédrale Pont de la 
Poya"/>
```

When using exiftool:

```
exiftool sample.jpg  | grep Categories
Supplemental Categories         : Fribourg, Cathédrale, Pont de la Poya
```

This is not a problem when using Tika with, say, Solr since stopwords such as 
"de" and "la" will be dropped. However, when using Tika standalone with an 
external tool, there is no way to fetch the *actual* list of categories, namely:

* Fribourg
* Cathédrale
* Pont de la Poya

where blank spaces in the title may be wanted instead of getting single-term 
topic names.
