Metadata for the Long Term: The Universality of Language vs. Fixed Processes
Effective digital media management relies heavily on the use of descriptive information, or “metadata,” that envelops rich media files like video clips, audio files, high resolution photographs, and CAD/3D files. Good metadata permit quick search, extensive reuse, and consequently cost savings. If the metadata are inadequate, the file languishes unused and unusable. We propose a standard for metadata that does away with the trouble and expense (and inherent frustrations) of mandating terminology and thesaurus standards.
