Meta-data

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

Intrinsic meta-data

This type of data can be consulted via the Image Management's left panel, or more directly via the API.
