Metadata for Digital Images
December 02, 2009

Managing a collection of digital image assets is a complex undertaking. Unlike text-based documents, images do not provide headings, captions, or the ability to count word frequency for delivering relevant search results. With examples from stock photo distributors and a case study on an image collection of 3.5 million, this session will address critical considerations for building effective metadata for images. We’ll discuss the particulars of image distribution systems, metadata for rights protection and topic access, and overview primary metadata standards for managing digital images.

2011 Content Management Practices Survey
September 07, 2011

Join us on September 7th for a preliminary look at the results of the 2011 Content Management Practices Survey.  A white paper with the complete results will be available later this year. 

The 2011 Content Management Practices survey focuses on practices for creating information (metadata) about documents, images, and social media communications. Companies create metadata to make content more visible to users searching for relevant items as well as support a range of more complex information applications, for example, comparing product features when shopping or performing analysis of insurance claims.

This year we will be revisiting the 2009 questions for some comparative data and updating the survey with some new ones as well.  Given the rate of change in the industry we expect the story the data will tell to be quite interesting.

Medical Information: To Find or Not to Find
May 09, 2012

>>View a recording of this webinar.<<

This webinar addresses an interesting aspect of search for medical information. While we generally seek solutions that make information more findable, with medical information, there are often reasons for not exposing content. In this session, we explore some of the ways in which taxonomy and metadata can be leveraged to address these twin concerns.
