Multimedia metadata is currently the only way to cope with problems like semantics based retrieval o
Cooperative knowledge management refers to the work practice or culture facet of information systems engineering; it plays a key role especially in engineering and consulting domains. However, in comparison to technology-centered and business-process-centered meta modeling approaches (exemplified by UML and ERP), this aspect has received significantly less attention in research and is much less ma
Use You can use the XMI format in the Administrator Workbench functional area Transport Connection to exchange metadata (BW objects) between different systems. A model derived along the lines of the CWM (Common Warehouse Metamodel) is used here. You can find additional information about the CWM standard on the OMG (Object Management Group) homepage: www.omg.org. You can find ad
Prerequisites For you to be able to fully search in metadata, the search engine must be fully installed. If the search engine has not been fully installed, the system generates an appropriate after entering a search term. You can either complete the installation of the search engine, or you can search for metadata using F4 help. However, this search process is limited to finding

If you're shooting digital then chances are you're massing thousands of photos. How will you ever find what you're looking for? The key is entering metadata into the images themselves. However, who wants to do it image-by-image and even when you're doing groups at a time who wants to enter the same data over and over again such as copyright info? In this episode you'll learn how to create a metada
David Marsh had a great comment on my previous blog entry. I'm reposting it in its entirety because I think it is a great tip for anyone trying to manage their photos on their file system.

Now that I have explained the different types of image metadata there is one more question to answer: how does this image metadata end up in your image files? This article will explain the road very frequently traveled by image metadata.
Tagging your images is so cool, compared with using plain old folders...at least that's what everyone says :) But how do your carefully created keywords get attached to your images? What are EXIF, IPTC and XMP? And most of all...why should you care about all of these acronyms?
Should metadata including meta tags be flushed down the toilet?
I’ve been doing a bit of research on a few related topics including search technology and meta data and thought I’d share some of my ideas and findings although there is not much room for further speculation on the web on these topics as they have [...]
Live Flash video capabilities have improved significantly in the last year, and with the support of major content delivery networks (CDNs) and new encoding tools, it is becoming an affordable solution to reach viewers efficiently across platforms with the best possible user experience. To improve this even more, and to afford better monetization of content, Flash Media
One of Vista's more useful features is also one of its more dangerous ones -- the use of metadata. Metadata is information about files that you don't normally see but that can help you search for them.For example, music files typically contain the name of the composer, type of music and so on. And a photograph usually contains data on when the photo was taken, who took it, the camera model and oth
If you need to publish your presentation outside your organization, you may want to remove comments, notes hidden in the text, or other personally identifiable information. Often this type of information is added to the document in the process of creating it. 1. Click the Office button, and then on the Prepare menu, click Inspect Document. (If you haven’t saved your document yet, you will be prompted to do so.) 2. Select the items that you want the Document Inspector to look for. Most of these items will be selected by default. 3. Click Inspect to begin the inspection process. 4. You’ll receive a list of inspection results. Click Remove All next to any items you want to have removed from the document. 5. Click Close to close this wizard. You may want to res
Talis.com - MetaData You Can UseWhat it doesTalis is as old as the internet. Actually, it's older; it was established in 1969 which makes it a seeming dinosaur in the realm of all things internet. However, this tech company has made a true go of it with Talis v. 2.0. This version focuses on data management. It's a semantic application which means it tries to find meanings of text and data and then it applies these meanings to their use for you, the end-user. The Talis platform acts as a soup-ed up storehouse of unstructured data. There platform works well with libraries and universities. Once it's sorted and stored, the data can be retrieved from what are referred to as stores at any point The data is accessed online using metadata. High power search filters and advanced indexing technologies find relevant data. Talis encourages collaboration. The data stored can be made available to share, reuse, and remix. Talis does the data-mining for you, so you can focus on creating.In
One interesting that I have found is the [Transient] metadata . What it does?
It instructs Flex not to serialize the object member (variable/function) when you do a serialize/deserialize of an object.
Here is a quick more in detail code
public class Test
{
private var x: int;
private var y: int;
public function get xval():int
{
return x*x;
}
public function set xval(value:int)
{
x= x*y;
}
public function set yval(value:int)
{
y=value + 1;
}
}
If you try to serialize and deserialize an instance of this class you would see that the values for x,y are different before and after. Why?
Well it seems that in the deserialization process all the values are extracted (x,y,xval and yval) and the getters/setters are executed. How to solve this problem? Simpl: use the [Transient] tag:
[Transient]
public function get xval():int
When the object will be serialized the value for the xval will not be present and the getter/setter w
Niall Kennedy has the news on all sorts of goodies in the beta version of Flash Player:
Yesterday Adobe released a
beta version of its Flash Player browser plugin capable of decoding H.264
video, AAC
audio, and associated rich metadata. Web browsers utilizing Flash 9.0.60.184 or higher will now be able to playback
content encoded for digital television, iPods, and high-end mobile phones using international standards. Adobe's support for
these standardized audio and video codes will streamline the production process for desktop and web video, hopefully reducing
time-to-market and opening more video catalogs to online viewers. A beta version of the new player, Flash Player 9 Update 3 Beta 2 "Moviestar", is available from Adobe
Labs.
I'm hoping this means we can just encode for H.264 (aka MPEG4) and have it play with Flash player widgets, without having to
do "FLV" anymore.
Flash Player now supports 3GPP time text tracks, iTunes metadata ("ilst" atom), and chapte

Organize your data with metadata, also referred to as ‘to metanize’ here at iNuron, has become well known in the market through the principle of tagging. Quite some web 2.0 sites allow their users to tag information.
Tagging data with metadata allows data to be efficiently managed and found. That’s like walking to the dressing in the morning and searching for you favourite shirt. Will you remember the exact spot you put it, or use its color, fabric, length, etcetera to determine on sight its exact location? In case of the latter, tagging is a natural thing to do for you.

Agregar metadata a algunos tipos de archivos en Windows Vista es algo sin dificultado, pero, CNET nos reporta que Vista "puede" crear incompatibilidad (que novedad) con algunos programas de manejo de fotos digitales comunmente usados:De acuerdo a un articulo de la base de conocimiento de Microsoft (KB o Knowledge Database) "Cuando usted edita las propiedades de una foto para añadir metadata a esa foto en Windows Vista, el software para la camara digital, puede que no reconozca denuevo el metadata que es agregado automaticamente a la foto por la camara digital.Al parecer empresas como Nikon, Sony y Oympus, estan lanzando codecs para el Explorer de Vista, para editar el metadata de manera que no estropee el metadata original.

By Mike DaviesMicrosoft wants to make it easy to label photos with metadata - information such as where the picture was taken and who's in it - but you better be careful before you use the company's software for doing so.Windows Vista and the Microsoft Photo Info tool can cause problems with metadata or the image itself.According to one Microsoft Knowledge Base article, "When you edit the properties of a photo to add metadata to that photo in Windows Vista, the software for the digital camera may no longer recognize the metadata that is automatically added to the photo by the digital camera."Tagging the raw files through Windows Vista or the Microsoft Photo Info tool after the codec is installed appears to cause these files to become unreadable in other applications, such as Adobe Photoshop," Microsoft has said in a a frequently asked-questions list for the Photo Info software.Microsoft is letting camera manufacturers supply processing software that Vista can employ when users want t
