5.3. Create a corpus node

As the last step, you need to create a corpus node in the IMDI Browser. To create such a node, do the following:

  1. Open the IMDI Browser.

  2. At the bottom of the Metadata Descriptions Tree panel, enter the location of the IMDI Corpus file into the field labeled Root URL. Press ENTER.

    The corpus node, together with its subcorpus nodes and sessions, is displayed in the Metadata Descriptions Tree panel, e.g.:

    2. The new corpus is displayed here


  3. To save the new corpus node permanently, do the following:

    1. In the Metadata Descriptions Tree panel, click on the corpus node to select it.

    2. Right-click on the selected corpus node.

      A pull-down menu appears.
