Leveraging the Rich Metadata Capabilities of SVG
Text is not the only type of content that can benefit from
metadata. Rich metadata can enhance the value of any type of content -- if the
format allows. One of the powerful things about the Scalable Vector Graphics
(SVG) format is that you can express whatever metadata you want -- because SVG
is written in XML and it's flexible. This talk will demonstrate how SVG
graphics and particular metadata vocabularies including PRISM facilitate
intelligent search, automatic rights clearance and much more -- for graphical
assets.
