Metadata Editing and Mapping within the AXMEDIS Framework

Abstract

Metadata is increasingly used in the digital industry for content description. In line with this emerging trend, the AXMEDIS framework has employed several kinds of metadata for describing digital items embedded in AXMEDIS Objects. This paper introduces the metadata utilised inside AXMEDIS Objects and presents the AXMEDIS Metadata Editor and Mapper which provide graphical user interface and tools for metadata manipulation to accelerate the production and automated transcoding of metadata.
