8th annual Metadata Conference (FOTO)

Berlin (ots) -

Organised by IPTC and hosted by CEPIC the 8th annual Metadata
Conference will take place on Thursday June 5th 2014 as part of the
CEPIC 2014 Congress in Berlin. Everybody who is interested in
managing metadata of video in a way which aligns with existing photo
metadata concepts and workflows is welcome.

More and more photo and video businesses are getting closer. Many
photo suppliers are extending their business to video. The companies,
which have started with photos are interested in using the same
metadata fields with video as they do with photos.

This conference will help to extend the management of metadata
from known photo-related procedures to the moving images. This
conference also aims at pinning down business requirements for
precise annotations of video content.

The conference will start with a presentation of experience and
practice and will be followed by a view of core video businesses and
how software can help. During the afternoon the use and evolution of
metadata in Cultural Heritag images will be discussed and a insight
in the metadata technology will be given by answering the question
how to make metadata stick to videos.

The conference is free for all CEPIC Congress participants. For
others the registration fee is only 100 Euros.
