Description
Process the files with the specified extension to load their default metadata and set it on the corresponding URI. This service starts an Asynchronous process.
Default metadata is loaded using the corresponding PSML document template for the psml extension or media template for other files.
The overwrite parameter can be used to preserve existing document metadata properties:
- if
false, only new properties are added to the existing metadata. - if
true, all existing metadata properties are overwritten and for a nonpsmlextension the document properties (title, docid, description, labels) are also overwritten.
Parameters

| overwrite | A flag to allow overwriting of existing metadata properties | no | boolean | false |
