What is the difference between Labels and Metadata?
Hi Gabrielle_Ferrara ,
If you have many assets which have same subject , topic , sector , category and they related with each others and you want to group them into a common name or a tag name for easier manage and searching then you will need a Label name for them.
The Metadata is using for describe data of assets. Metadata is defined as the data providing Information about one or more aspects of the data, it is used to summarize basic information about data which can make tracking and working with specific data easier.
Some examples include:
- Means of creation of the data
- Purpose of the data
- Time and date of creation
- Creator or author of the data
- Location on a computer network where the data was created
- Standards used
- File size
Metadata may be written into a digital photo file that will identify who owns it, copyright and contact information, what camera created the file, along with exposure information and descriptive information such as keywords about the photo, making the file searchable on the computer and/or the Internet. Some metadata is written by the camera and some is input by the photographer and/or software after own loading to a computer. Most digital cameras write metadata, and some enable you to edit it; this functionality has been available on most Nikon DSLRs since the Nikon D3, on most new Canon cameras since the Canon EOS 7D, and on most Pentax DSLRs since the Pentax K-3. Metadata can be used to make organizing in post-production easier with the use of key wording.
Filters can be used to analyze a specific set a photographs and create selections on criteria like rating or capture time.Photographic Metadata Standards are governed by organizations that develop the following standards. They include, but are not limited to:
- IPTC Information Interchange Model IIM (International Press Telecommunications Council),
- IPTC Core Schema for XMP
- XMP – Extensible Metadata Platform (an ISO standard)
- Exif – Exchangeable image file format, Maintained by CIPA (Camera &
- Imaging Products Association) and published by JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association)
- Dublin Core (Dublin Core Metadata Initiative – DCMI)
- PLUS (Picture Licensing Universal System).
Thank you, this makes sense.
