[Vorbis-dev] Fwd: [cc-metadata] ANNOUNCE: Digital Asset Management (Call for Feedback)
Hi, Forwarding some info about a new metadata tagging software project, in case anyone is interested in adding support for VorbisComment or CMML. cheers, Conrad. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Taylor Venable <taylor@metasyntax.net> Date: 07-Apr-2007 02:46 Subject: [cc-metadata] ANNOUNCE: Digital Asset Management (Call for Feedback) To: cc-community@lists.ibiblio.org, cc-metadata@lists.ibiblio.org Greetings all, In a world where creative works are increasingly being represented in a digital-only format, it is important to be able to recognize the relevant data about these works -- metadata such as the originator of the work, the time of its production, and the rights under which it is made available. To that end, the idea of digital asset management[1], the cataloguing and categorization of digital information, was born. Under the helpful guidance of Nathan Yergler, a team of programmers at Indiana University, Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW) has been exploring the fundamentals of digital asset management in the form of an application which can catalogue and search for metadata within the known database. The team, consisting now of Jason Baker, Michael Mattax, and Taylor Venable, would now like your help in determining some of the future directions of the project's development. What features of the application do you find most useful? Where do you see that the application needs improvement? Are there any additional features that you would like to see implemented? We would highly value any other input as well. To get started with the project, please visit our wiki page at the following address: http://code.google.com/p/cc-dam/wiki/Howto_Run This will guide you through the process of checking out the source code and running it in your environment. Because this project is built on the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP), it is runnable on any platform which supports Eclipse, including Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and FreeBSD. It uses the Apache Derby database to facilitate storage, which makes the project ideal in large environments where the quantity of metadata may be high. The project is also meant to be extensible wherever possible, allowing users to provide their own capabilities for new filetypes or metadata attributes. The current version of the program includes support for both Creative Commons and Dublin Core metadata tags stored within PDFs (in XMP format), and for some metadata stored as ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags in MP3 files. Both the types of metadata and file formats supported are extensible within the system, allowing anybody to easily add their own relevant metadata or file types to the system. Thanks for your time. With your help, we will be able to improve this application into a product that will be truly useful and full-featured digital asset management system.

The JOrbis library is LGPL, am I right in thinking it should be possible to use it to make a plugin for a MIT licenced app? Amusingly plugins are created on a file extension basis... -- imalone
