# <autn:category>

The `<autn:category>` tag marks the limits of each category that you want to import in your XML file. You can include one or more `<autn:category>` tags inside the `<autn:categories>` tag, and `<autn:category>` tags can also contain child `<autn:category>` tags.

The following table lists the tags that are allowed in `<autn:category>`.

Tag name | Number allowed | Required
--- | --- | ---
<autn:name> (required) | one | Yes
<autn:id> | one | No
<autn:parent> | one | No
<autn:refersto> | one | No
<autn:trainingelement> | one or more | No
<autn:simplecat> | one | No
<autn:relevancecat> | one | No
<autn:details> | one | No

## <autn:name> (required)

The `<autn:name>` tag sets the name of the category. You must include one `<autn:name>` within each set of `<autn:category>` tags. For example:

    <autn:name>UKpolitics</autn:name>

Tags allowed within `<autn:name>`: none

## <autn:id>

The `<autn:id>` tag sets the IDOL category ID. If a category with this ID already exists in the server, IDOL uses the `OnConflict` ACI parameter to determine the action to take.

For further information, see the `CategoryImportFromXML` `OnConflict` parameter in the IDOL Category Component Reference.

## <autn:parent>

The `<autn:parent>` tag identifies the ID of the parent category. This option is effective only if you set `Flat` to `True` in the `CategoryImportFromXML` action.

For further information, refer to the IDOL Category Component Reference.

## <autn:refersto>

The `<autn:refersto>` tag identifies the ID of the category to which the new category refers. This information is used to create a category that refers to another, and which inherits its fields, training, and special documents. This option is effective only if you set `Flat` to `True` in the `CategoryImportFromXML` action.

For further information, refer to the IDOL Category Component Reference.

## <autn:trainingelement>

The `<autn:trainingelement>` tag identifies the training element for a category. IDOL Server identifies concepts that belong to the category from this training set. You can include one or more `<autn:trainingelement>` tags in each set of `<autn:category>` tags.

The following table lists the tags that are allowed in `<autn:trainingelement>`.

Tag name | Number allowed | Required
--- | --- | ---
One or more of these: |
<autn:type> | one | Yes
<autn:content> | one | See below
<autn:language> | one | No
<autn:reference> | one | See below
<autn:docid> | one | See below
<autn:database> | one | No

<autn:type>

The `<autn:type>` tag sets the type of training to be used by `<autn:trainingelement>`. Each `<autn:trainingelement>` should contain only one `<autn:type>` tag.

The following table describes the values that are valid for `<autn:type>`.

Options for <autn:type> | Description
--- | ---
`TRAININGTEXT` | Identifies the training type as text only.
`BOOLEAN` | Identifies the training type as Boolean. You must define the Boolean operator in the `<autn:content>` tag. For example:
    <autn:type>BOOLEAN</autn:type>
    <autn:content>(phone AND mobile)</autn:content>
`URLDOWNLOAD` | Identifies text from a URL to use for training.
`DREDOCUMENT` | Identifies the training type as a document indexed in IDOL. The document is specified by either `autn:reference` or `autn:docid`.

<autn:content>

The `<autn:content>` tag specifies the actual training text or Boolean expression. This tag is required if <autn:type> is `TRAININGTEXT`, `BOOLEAN`, or `URLDOWNLOAD`.

For more information, see <autn:type>.

<autn:language>

The `<autn:language>` tag specifies the language of the training text. This tag is optional.

<autn:reference>

The `<autn:reference>` tag specifies the IDOL `DREREFERENCE` to use for training. This tag is required if `<autn:type>` is `DREDOCUMENT`, and you do not set `<autn:docid>`.

NOTE: If the document is of the type `DREDOCUMENT`, you must set either `<autn:reference>` or `<autn:docid>`, but not both.

For more information, see <autn:type> and <autn:docid>.

<autn:docid>

The `<autn:docid>` tag specifies the IDOL `DocID` to use for training. This tag is required if `<autn:type>` is `DREDOCUMENT`, and you do not set `<autn:reference>`.

NOTE: If the document is of the type `DREDOCUMENT`, you must set either `<autn:reference>` or `<autn:docid>`, but not both.

For more information, see <autn:type> and <autn:reference>.

<autn:database>

The `<autn:database>` tag specifies the IDOL database in which the training document is located. You can set only one database for each `<autn:trainingelement>` tag. This tag is optional.

## <autn:simplecat>

The `<autn:simplecat>` tag specifies whether the category is a simple category. For example:

    <autn:simplecat>True</autn:simplecat>

NOTE: If you use this tag, do not set `<autn:relevancecat>`.

## <autn:relevancecat>

The `<autn:relevancecat>` tag specifies whether the category is a relevance category. For example:

    <autn:relevancecat>False</autn:relevancecat>

NOTE: If you use this tag, do not set `<autn:simplecat>.`

## <autn:details>

The `<autn:details>` tag sets training details for the category. You can include one set of `<autn:details>` within each set of `<autn:category>` tags.

The following table lists the tags that are allowed in `<autn:details>`.

<autn:generatedterms>

The `<autn:generatedterms>` tag sets terms generated for a category from training. Do this only if you are editing an existing category from which you can take the terms. You can include one `<autn:generatedterms>` in each set of `<autn:details>` tags. For example:

    <autn:generatedterms>LYMPH,MISDIAGNOS,PATHOLOGI</autn:generatedterms>

NOTE: If you specify terms for a category in the `<autn:generatedterms>` tag, you must enter a corresponding list of weights by using the `<autn:generatedweights>` tag.

The `<autn:generatedterms>` tag is required if you set `<autn:queryagenttnw>`. For more information, see <autn:queryagenttnw>.

<autn:generatedweights>

The `<autn:generatedweights>` tag sets weights generated for the terms for the category from training. Do this only if you are editing an existing category from which you can take the weights. You can include one `<autn:generatedweights>` in each set of `<autn:details>` tags. For example:

    <autn:generatedweights>5960,4035,4001</autn:generatedweights>

NOTE: If you specify weights for a category in the `<autn:generatedweights>` tag, you must enter a corresponding list of terms by using the `<autn:generatedterms>` tag.

The `<autn:generatedweights>` tag is required if you set `<autn:queryagenttnw>`. For more information, see <autn:queryagenttnw>.

<autn:queryagenttnw>

The `<autn:queryagenttnw>` tag specifies the query string generated by terms and weights used to build the category. For example:

    <autn:queryagenttnw>LYMPH~[5960] MISDIAGNOS~[4305] PATHOLOGI~[4001]</autn:queryagenttnw>

NOTE: You can use `<autn:queryagenttnw>` with either `<autn:generatedterms>` and `<autn:generatedweights>`, or `<autn:modifiedterms>` and `<autn:modifiedweights>`. If both sets exist, modified terms take precedence over generated ones.

The `<autn:queryagenttnw>` tag performs the same function as the IDOL `CategoryBuild` action. See Build Categories.

For more information, see <autn:generatedterms>, <autn:generatedweights>, <autn:modifiedterms>, and <autn:modifiedweights>.

<autn:modifiedterms>

The `<autn:modifiedterms>` tag sets terms defined by the user. You can include one `<autn:modifiedterms>` within each set of `<autn:details>` tags. For example:

    <autn:modifiedterms>LYMPH,MISDIAGNOS,PATHOLOGI</autn:modifiedterms>

For more information on changing the weights of terms in a category, see Change Category Term Weights.
