With the explosion of new audio and video content on the Web, its more
important than ever to use accurate and comprehensive metadata to get
the most out of that content. Developing Quality Metadata is an advanced
user guide that will help you improve your metadata by making it
accurate and coherent with your own solutions. This book is designed to
get you thinking about solving problems in a proactive and productive
way by including practical descriptions of powerful programming tools
and user techniques using several programming languages. For example,
you can use shell scripting as part of the graphic arts and media
production process, or you can use a popular spreadsheet application to
drive your workflow. The concepts explored in this book are framed
within the context of a multimedia professional working on the Web or in
broadcasting, but they are relevant to anyone responsible for a growing
library of content, be it audio-visual, text, or financial.
* Solutions to build your own tools instead of buying off-the-shelf
software solutions
* Real-world examples and case studies explore the usefulness of the
tools
* Author Cliff Wootton has been building tools and applications for
producing and delivering multimedia content for the last 25 years
