Metadata, in some contexts referred to as a metalist or as a meta-list


ACDSee

ACDSee's main features are speed, lossless RAW/image editing, image batch processing, metadata (Exif/IPTC), with support to edit/embed metadata in image files, rating, keywords, and categories, and geotagging/GPS support.

BEdita

All this content is managed in multiple languages, geo-localized and organized through different strategies: hierarchic tree, custom categories and tags.

Bielefeld University

It works with commercial system suppliers to meet the needs of academic libraries—collaborations that have resulted in developments such as BASE (Bielefeld Academic Search Engine), by which metadata is collected from scientific repository servers and indexed, along with data from selected web sites and data collections, using the Solr framework.

Binary object

They have three steps is binary object that they work and they are: upload of binary object, metadata definition or import and data import data.

Business Intelligence Markup Language

Biml authored BI assets can currently be used by the BIDS Helper add-on for Microsoft SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) and the Varigence Mist integrated development environment; both tools translate Biml metadata into SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) and SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) assets for the Microsoft SQL Server platform.

Coverage data

As some of these encoding formats are not capable of incorporating all metadata making up a coverage, GMLCOV foresees a multipart MIME encoding (see Figure) where the first component encodes the coverage description (domain extent, range type, metadata, etc.) and the second part consists of the range set "payload" using some encoding format.

Darian Shirazi

Radius tracks 26 million small businesses in the United States in real time and has over half a million pieces of data, which include: social data; government data; people data; business listing metadata; daily deals, like those found on Amazon local; news articles and reviews.

Design rule for Camera File system

Design rule for Camera File system (DCF) is a JEITA specification (number CP-3461) which defines a file system for digital cameras, including the directory structure, file naming method, character set, file format, and metadata format.

EU Open Data Portal

Its metadata catalogue is built on the basis of the Dublin Core, the data catalogue vocabulary DCAT and the asset description metadata schema ADMS.

ExifTool

ExifTool is commonly incorporated into different types of digital workflows and supports many types of metadata including Exif, IPTC, XMP, JFIF, GeoTIFF, ICC Profile, Photoshop IRB, FlashPix, AFCP and ID3, as well as the manufacturer-specific metadata formats of many digital cameras.

Geograph Britain and Ireland

The entire archive of images with RDF metadata is being made available for download via BitTorrent.

GraphicConverter

The application features a batch processor, slideshow mode, image preview browser, and access to metadata comments (such as XMP, Exif, and IPTC).

IPTC Information Interchange Model

These were defined originally in 1979, and revised significantly in 1991 to be part of the IIM, but the concept really advanced in 1994 when Adobe Systems defined a specification for actually embedding the metadata into digital image files — yielding "IPTC headers."

Other speakers included photographers such as David Riecks and Peter Krogh, photo and news agencies such as Reuters; representatives of standards bodies such as PLUS, IPTC, and IFRA; as well as spokespersons from the photo metadata implementers side, such as Adobe Systems, Apple Inc., Canon Inc., FotoWare AS, Hasselblad, and Microsoft.

JBrout

Keywords are stored with the pictures (using IPTC metadata), making their exchange easier: When sending a picture, its associated keywords are also sent.

Media Auxiliary Memory

Media (or Medium) Auxiliary Memory (MAM) refers to a chip embedded into a digital media device (usually a tape cartridge) that stores a small amount of data or metadata that a computer can read without having to read the actual tape.

Metadata Working Group

Metadata Working Group was formed in 2006 by Adobe Systems, Apple, Canon, Microsoft and Nokia.

METeOR

METeOR is a Metadata registry based on the 2003 version of the ISO/IEC 11179 Information technology - Metadata registries standard.

METS

The Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard (METS) is a metadata standard for encoding descriptive, administrative, and structural metadata regarding objects within a digital library, expressed using the XML schema language of the World Wide Web Consortium.

MWG

Metadata Working Group, a company consortium to advance the interoperability of metadata stored in digital media

NISC Export Services

This organization, based in Hyderabad, India is involved in the data deduplication of bibliographic and metadata records through the creation of composite records.

Nova Spivack

Data categorization and keyword-association (tagging) were automated by artificial intelligence developed by Radar Networks.

Nylink

The Dublin Core metadata standard has become a mainstay in the library community to describe digital objects.

OpenSIGLE

Some qualified fields were added to the metadata set used by DSpace without disturbing the OAI compliance: conference title, report number and availability statement.

Photo Mechanic

Photo Mechanic allows the photographer to accomplish the initial capture of photos from the camera, to categorize photos into winners and losers, and to tag each photo with IPTC metadata; using IPTC Information Interchange Model, IPTC Core, IPTC Extension or all three types of metadata (the latter two are stored using the Extensible Metadata Platform or XMP).

PKP Open Archives Harvester

Originally developed to harvest the metadata from Open Journal Systems articles and Open Conference Systems proceedings, the Harvester can by used with any OAI-PMH-compliant resource.

Prinergy

All job information and file metadata are stored in an Oracle database, while content is stored as Adobe PDF or PDF/X, and production control is stored as Adobe Portable Job Ticket Format, or Job Definition Format (JDF).

Schema crosswalk

This type of "translating" from one format to another is often called "metadata mapping" or "field mapping," and is related to "data mapping," and "semantic mapping."

SedDB

Examples of Seddb metadata are: sample latitude and longitude; elevation below sea surface; material analyzed; analytical methodology; analytical precision and reference standard measurements.

SkyOS

With the help of the SQL-based Index Feeder, SkyFS supports fast metadata and full-text searching similar in concept to WinFS and Spotlight.

Software mining

OMG Knowledge Discovery Metamodel provides an integrated representation to capturing application metadata as part of a holistic existing system metamodel.

Tag editor

These are mainly taggers for common audio tagging formats like ID3, APE, and Vorbis comments (for example Windows Media Player and iTunes), but can also be taggers for JPEG, PDF and TIFF metadata (for example iPhoto).

Torrent file

In the BitTorrent file distribution system, a torrent file is a computer file that contains metadata about files and folders to be distributed, and usually also a list of the network locations of trackers, which are computers that help participants in the system find each other and form efficient distribution groups called swarms.

Twango

In addition, Twango saved all the original media and its metadata (this includes, but is not limited to, IPTC and Exif).

Write-ahead logging

File systems typically use a variant of WAL for at least file system metadata called journaling.

XMDR

The Extended Metadata Registry (XMDR) is a project proposing and testing a set of extensions to the ISO/IEC 11179 metadata registry specifications that deal with the development of improved standards and technology for storing and retrieving the semantics of data elements, terminologies, and concept structures in metadata registries.

XMP

Extensible Metadata Platform, an ISO standard for the creation, processing and interchange of metadata for all kinds of resources

Zoner Photo Studio

It focuses heavily on support (including but not limited to display, editing, and filtering) for metadata, primarily in the Exif format, including such information types as titles, authors, descriptions, keywords, audio notes, digital signatures, and GPS data.
