2.7 METADATA PROFILE MANAGEMENT
2.7.1 METADATA, PROFILES AND FIELDS
Metadata is customer-defined data which can be associated with clips in IP
Director.
The metadata is available in IP Director via profiles, i.e. sets of fields which are
managed together. Lists of possible values are provided with each of the fields in
the form of the drop-down lists. Other fields are text fields in which the user types
a value. The user can also specify a default value for a field.
These metadata profiles and related fields are defined in dedicated .xml files
which can be imported into IP Director. The following screenshot shows an
example of a profile for a tennis event.
