SOUND ON SOUND

I learned about metadata when working on devising metametamodels for pollution licencing ...

Data about data is the spot-on definition. For entering metadata on multiple files I use Metadatics, which is available from the App Store. It works very well once you get used to its quirks and supports entry of stuff like ISRC codes.

PreSonus Studio One DAW lets you add metadata at various points - this SOS article gives you some background:

iTunes lets you enter Artist, Genre, Copyright info etc. But on *any* Mac file you can press Cmd-I (Get Info) and enter text into the Comment box, and save.

Data about data is a loose definition that has been around at least from the early 1980s, I expect that only later was there any assumption that metadata would be embedded with the data in some container (file).

Clearly the confusion around metadata (data about data) suggests we need to implement meta-metadata (data about the data about the data) to help clear this up... :headbang: :thumbup:

We're approaching 'Buffalo' territory here...

Let's introduce recursion and we're done with it! For more information about metadata, I suggest to read the informative SOS forum thread here

No stop conditions.
