How to read meta data from a qlikview file?

Hi,


I am looking for how to read the meta data information from a Qlikview file itself. Example, the Qlikview governnace dashboard reads the information (such as Label of an expression, expression, comment given to a field etc) from a qlikview file. How that happens?


I am using Qlikview personal edition and storing qlikview file locally. Can i extract the meta data such as (Label, Comment of a table, field,expression etc) from the qlikview file. How to extract that information?


Thanks

Some information can be extracted by just using the Table file wizard, setting the file type to xml and pointing to a QVW file. That's the meta data. Eveything else is the real model stuff.
