Automated metadata and tag generation
What is Automated Metadata and Tag Generation?
Automated metadata and tag generation refers to the process within Digital Asset Management (DAM) software where metadata and descriptive tags are automatically assigned to digital assets, streamlining the organization and retrieval of content. This functionality enhances efficiency by reducing the manual effort required for tagging and ensures consistency in metadata application.
Examples:
- Image Recognition: DAM systems utilizing artificial intelligence can automatically analyze images and generate metadata based on detected objects, colors, or themes.
- Text Analysis: For documents or textual content, automated processes can extract keywords, topics, and sentiment to generate relevant tags.
- File Properties: Automated tagging can be based on file properties such as creation date, author, or file type, providing contextual information without manual input.
