Developing Quality Metadata: Building Innovative Tools & Workflow Solutions
This book includes practical descriptions of powerful programming and user techniques or algorithms based on using several programming languages and crossing disciplines to exert additional leverage. For example, using shell scripting as part of the book writing or graphic arts process. Creating animated movie content from database driven back-ends
(much like web sites are created).
The examples explored and the concepts in this book will be framed within the context of a media professional working on web, multimedia or broadcasting.
* Author Cliff Wootton has been been building tools and applications for producing and delivering multimedia content for the last 25 years.
* This book is unique from the competition in that if offers solutions for building your own tools as opposed to buying off-the-shelf software solutions.
* Real-world examples and case studies explore the usefulness of the tools and the CD will be complete with examples and templates.
