With meta-data, we identify all data that surrounds a slide, but that is not graphical. The actual pixels (or viewport representation) of a slide are not meta-data. Annotations can be considered meta-data in the semantic sense, but they're link to graphical activities as well. So annotations are discussed elsewhere in this manual.
There is a blog article that serves as a complementary tutorial to this blog entry. In the article, we consider 3 types of meta-data in PMA.core:
Meta-data | Location | Storage |
---|---|---|
Intrinsic meta-data | Embedded in the slide's file format | File system or cloud FS |
User-captured meta-data | Stored in PMA.core | PMA.core RDBMS (SQLServer) |
External meta-data | Stored in own (customer) database | SQLServer or Oracle |
