SOME OTHER CHALLENGES

Bandwidth How do you cope with large media?

Meta-Data Semantic web or tagging?

BANDWIDTH ISSUE

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Archive the hi-res media Via file drag and drop

Create the meta-data Create watermarked low-res Publish on the external web site

THE METADATA DILEMMA

The standard bodies way: semantics and thesauri

What we do: free text search and tags Is it the silver bullet of metadata?

It works on Youtube, Vimeo and Google…
