Embedded Metadata Preservation and publication

Will Muse allow me to publish web pages in html5 that expose my metadata currently embedded in photographs cataloged Adobe LR?
We have populated the IPTC and IPTC Extension fields for our images with important metadata and do NOT want it stripped upon web publication.

Andrew:
What you describe is much like how Google Picasa Web Albums and Flickr "used to" do this. The original was stored "as-is" and the images that were downsized for preview and thumbnail were stripped of all metadata. After a number of users complained about this issue, they now preserve at least some of the embedded metadata for the previews and other derivative files. If I recall correctly, Flickr only preserves those values that are part of the older IPTC schema known as IIM or Information Interchange Model -- but this would mean that at minimum the owners copyright notice would remain intact (as well as caption/description, basic location information, credit and keywords).
While better than nothing, that's still going against principle five of the Embedded Metadata Manifesto, "Other metadata should only be removed from files by agreement with their copyright holders." (http://www.embeddedmetadata.org/embedded-metatdata-manifesto.php). Muse seems to ignore principals one through five in regards to all images except for the original!
Does the Muse system give any warning to users that the application is removing all the metadata from these derivative images? I would consider that to be the least that could be done. Then those that don't care about having additional potential "Orphan Works" floating out in public can continue. Those that do care about protecting their intellectual property can opt not to continue (until or if this is fixed).
Why doesn't Muse operate like the Save for Web & Devices (SFW&D) save option in Photoshop? It is part of the Adobe family right? The default with SFW&D will at least retain the creator and copyright notice, though the user can use the pull down menu to choose several other options including ALL. Talk to Alan Lilich (one of your Adobe Engineers) about how much overhead this really takes with most files. He and Dennis Walker from Camera Bits (makers of Photo Mechanic) both backed me up on this point when I presented findings from the SAA Survey of Stock Images at the Microsoft Pro Photo Summit in 2007 (Video summary of that presentation). Even for smaller files it's really not that exhorbitant. See point three in the "Metadata Myths" article at (http://www.controlledvocabulary.com/blog/top-metadata-myths.html) for details.
It's a real shame that you don't at least give the user the option of leveraging that embedded metadata already in the image by inserting it into an area around the image on the page. While having all embedded metadata appear automatically is an option, I'm sure that for some this would be annoying as they would have to then cut that copy from the page. However, is there a reason why there could not be a check book that the user can check to load this info into the Page text when the image is loaded? That would save a lot of opening the image in another application to gain access to the metadata (or going to Photoshop or Bridge and using File Info) -- then Copying and going back to the page to Paste in the info would take.
Many page layout programs for news operations automatically load the Contents of the Caption (Description) and Credit fields below an image when it's place into a layout. I don't see any reason why Muse couldn't adopt the same approach. Or at least have this as an "option" in the preferences for a user.
Should I log this as a "feature request"?

Will FCE automatically log embedded metadata when ingesting QT .mov files?

Hi --
I'm trying to figure out whether to purchase FCE to help in a large project. I am about to create a couple of hundred QT files that I want to bring into FCE for editing. Each file will be tagged (logged) when created to allow searching in ITUNES. The tags reside in the INFO/COMMENTS field in the .mov container.
*Will FCE recognize the QT tags on ingestion? Can FCE automatically populate each file's logs with the appropriate tags?*
Obviously, a yes answer will save a huge amount of work. And, I welcome any alternative approaches.
Much thanks,
Ken

Thx for the quick, helpful and somewhat unfortunate response.
Any chance it works the other way, i.e can tags/log info be exported to the source .mov file.
Am I missing some other strategy to share tags/logging between FCE (or any NLE for that matter) and embedded metadata in the source files (QT in this case)
Again, thanks for the help.
Ken

Minimize Embedded Metadata - only works for JPGs?

According to the Help File, under export options for JPEG, TIFF, and PSD:
"Minimize Embedded Metadata Includes only copyright metadata in the exported photo."
But in my tests this is only true for JPEG. I can still find camera data in the EXIF for TIFF and PSD (although it is less than the full EXIF).
The JPEG has only copyright as expected.
Am I misunderstanding how that function is supposed to behave or is it not behaving correctly?

Using exiftool, I just verified this too. Not only is the camera information present in the tiff file, but the IPTC Caption info is included in the tiff exif "Image Description" field. I didn't test for all metadata fields, so there could be more.
Granted, when most folks seek to "minimize metadata," they're usually using jpgs targeted to the web. Still, I would think that LR would be consistent with what is omitted with the minimize metadata option.
Edit: should have noted that I'm still on LR 2.1

Inquiry: preserve and carry-over Creation & Modification Dates when encoding via AME

Greetings. I need to encode a series of AIC offline files and it is critical that the Creation Date and Modification Date matches the original source file.
Currently, my encoded AME files display Creation and Modification Dates and Times that represent the processing date and time.
In other words, the files indicate "Today" rather than the day and time of the shoot (two days ago).
I've FAQ'd and Help Manual'd this inquiry thoroughly to no resolve.
Any ideas where I should look to help me maintain and preserve the original source file Date & Time?
Many thanks, Mike

I am on a Windows 7 OS attempting to reduce pdf size with my Adobe Acrobat Standard XI & Pro. The application keeps timing out and at the Subsetting embedded fonts portion and the application gives "Adobe Acrobat has stopped working" and then closes. The document is 275 pages. Is there something I can do to stop this?

Hi Ricci,
Since when are you facing this issue? Did you tried system restore to a date before this problem occured.
Does acrobat stop working when you open this specific pdf file or with any pdf file that you open?

Metadata Navigation and Library Column Filter Bug

To whom it may concern,
When document library metadata navigation is enabled and a user clicks an item in the metadata navigation part, the library updates to reflect the selected filter. Subsequent filtering actions performed on columns in the library do not filter the list
further. For visuals refer to the thread below.
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/ab5c7d15-14e7-470a-8120-71d049a104d3/list-metadata-navigation-and-columns-filters-not-working?forum=sharepointgeneral
My reason for re-posting this is 2 fold.
1. The answer to the thread above is not an answer, it is a work around.
2. Presenting the option for a user to continue filtering a view, but having that option do nothing is a bug. The option should be hidden, or it should perform the expect action.
Please either inform me of an expected timeframe for resolution, or point me to an exacting set of steps to take in order to escalate this issue to someone who will take action to fix it.
Thanks

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that column filtering cannot work after filtering on the managed navigation in SharePoint.
I tested the same scenario per your post in my environment, and I got the same results as you got.
We will help to submit the issue to proper pipeline for you.
Again, thank you for your report which will definitely make SharePoint a better products. There might be some time delay.
Appreciate your time and patience.
Thanks,
Victoria

Every keystroke and mouse movement, I get an audio notice that I need to shut off. In Safari, the cursor cycles thru every link and metadata field and I get a verbal/audio notice of what it is. How do I shut this option off???

Embedded Search Index AND Document Security?

I'm using Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.1.7.
It appears that I cannot have both an embedded search index and restricted security (e.g., password required to change document) on the same document.
Why is that?
If I start with security ON and then attempt to embed a search index, I get below error message:
A search index can not be embedded in this document because this document has restricted security permissions.
If I start with security OFF, successfully embed a search index, and then secure the document, Acrobat "strips off" the previously embedded search index. No warning message; no feedback to end-user; just kills it!
Why are those two functions mutually exclusive? Anyone know of a work-around?
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
As to "why", that might be floating out there in Adobe's devnet space or in one of the blogs maintained by Adobe's devnet crew.
Also good to know about use of embedded index - if used, cannot apply fast web view to the PDF. It is one or the other, but not both.
Work around? I've not come across one; but, that does not mean something isn't "out there" <g>.

Lightroom Metadata editing and workflow is tedious nightmare!

I'm new to Lightroom in just the past month, but have used it enough to see that a serious interface problem makes Lightroom version 1x virtually unusable in a deadline-oriented publishing workflow. Lightroom's Metadata editing and workflow is just a terrible nightmare, and far too tedious and slow. It appears to be an afterthought implemented by good-hearted souls who've never had to edit this sort of information under serious deadline pressures. I know Lightroom is marketed as an image database and not a file browser, but we're all looking to simplify our workflow here and with just a few subtle enhancements, Lightroom could be an excellent file browser and file import manager too.
As it is now, the Lightroom v1x handling of File Naming and Renaming, Metadata Editing and Keyword Editing is poorly implemented and in need of an immediate overhaul to help professional photographers expedite this crucial and time-consuming first step in the archiving workflow. While Lightroom is very good at many other tasks, I give it a big fat "F" of a failing grade for these tasks.
First, the Lightroom Library Module needs an even more simple, linear interface that steps users through a precise procedures (and helps them remember them). Arguably, to accomplish this, the Import function may need to become a separate Module that can be selected and used separately before entering the Library. As File Naming and Renaming, Metadata Editing and Keyword Editing currently are implemented, I, for one, am always forgetting to fill out one of these critical sections and can't even seem to remember that some may need to be done before importing while others appear to be conceived to be done after importing. My point is, all these related steps really need to be done together, but the Interface spreads out the functions too much, and it is nearly impossible to build a logical and linear Import workflow, especially when you are first learning Lightroom.
I'd like to see a workflow that walks me through applying and editing (in order), File Naming, Basic and IPTC Metadata, Captioning and Keywords, so that I don't always forget some obscure step in the process (which I keep doing). Here are some specific suggestions, some of which may prove to be valid, some of which may be problems due to my lack of experience with thye software.
1. As currently implemented, Metadata editing requires too much thought, and does not have enough intelligent automation. Eliminate as much typing as possible (See Photo Mechanic!)
2. Lightroom needs better Metadata Presets. A "Quick Edit" view to simplify interface for editing minimal metadata info (File Name, Basic Info, Keywords, Headline, Limited Copyright Info).
3. Separating Keyword Tags, Metadata Browser, Keywording Presets and Metadata Presets confuses the workflow. They should all appear together under one selectable module that organizes a suggested, linear workflowfor these tasks, but allows it to be customized. This is the sort of tasks that need to be learned by rote memory, and having all these panes floating around on both sides of the photo make it impossible to quickly step through these tasks.
- Name (or Rename) files, Edit/Apply Basic and IPTC Metadata, Edit/Apply Keywords, Import or...
- Import, Name (or Rename) files, Edit/Apply Basic and IPTC Metadata, Edit/Apply Keywords, Import
4. Rename should offer the option of renaming the master file names on the disk, not just file names in the database (which I think is what Lightroom does, but again, this is very confusing for new users)! So, it is my belief that this feature needs a checkbox option to rename one, the other or both. But you need to be able to quickly find this dialog box every time you do an import, and it should not be hidden away out of view under the Library menu. Ideally and logically (for workflow), File Renaming should be handled when starting the Import into Lightroom.
This is critically important because many user

Lightroom metadata editing Part 2 (see Part 1 at top of thread)...
...This is critically important because many users just do not want to trust their images solely to any database and we want the ability to go look for master files with identical names should something go wrong with the software or we decide to edit the file in Photoshop outside of Lightroom or even switch to another library software program.
My own habit is to rename every file with the date followed by a unique, three-digit file number, as in 20070717_001, 20070717_002...up to 999 etc. (I have never shot more than 999 files in a single day, but this could be a four-digit number). To file these on disk, a folder with a similar naming scheme is created for each day's shoot, although a keyword slug is added to the end instead of file numbers.
5. Metadata Presets (Basic Info, IPTC metadata, EXIF metadata), Keywords need to be able to toggled on or off (promote/demote-expand/contract). Turning Off/On one section at a time via the Metadata Presets popup menu is too tedious...and you can't display IPTC and Large Caption together or leave Large Caption turned on. It also is difficult to remember where the Large Caption default (Preferences) setting is...
6. Please get the EXIF data out of the way entirely when editing captions and visa-versa...And the EXIF data should not separate Basic Info and IPTC Info fields. Please relocate the EXIF to the bottom of the Metadata pane...
7. IPTC Content, IPTC Copyright, IPTC Creator, IPTC Image expand/collapse sections need more automation:
- The Presets fields need Preset lists of entry choices for cities, states, countries, etc.!
- ISO Country Code automatically should be filled in when a country is entered.
- Date created automatically should be filled in from camera EXIF data
- Metadata Presets "Save As" should fill in old name, and allow you to rename it; (When it appears, the new name field should not be empty. This would aid in consistent, alphabetical naming
- Metadata Presets naming should support job names, with actual Presets saved under each job name...
8. IPTC Status EXIF, Contact, etc.
- Caption field MUST display more than one line...(6-8 lines)!
- Caption field MUST support Shift/Return!
- Headline (IPTC Content) should be displayed with (and above) caption. Please present information logically!
- Yellow popups should describe what each field name is for...some are real brain teasers...

Document Library Template with Metadata Navigation and Key Filters

When saving a document library as a template, any configured metadata navigation and key filters columns are lost. Has anyone else experienced this issue or know a viable workaround? Can anyone shed some light on why these settings are not saved with
the template?
Thanks!

Problem configure WSDL destination for web services metadata gen and exec

Hello,
First question:
Is WSIL supported by an R/3 4.7 ABAP system?
If yes I'd like to consume web services from it (Function Modules remote-enabled), through WSIL. I need thus to configure 2 WSDL destinations on the SLD for metadata generation and execution.
Second question:
What are the url to fill-in into the destination template configurations?
Thanks for your input,
Tanguy Mezzano

In other words, is it possible to call web services from a R/3 4.7 abap stack with WSIL, thus not through the WSDL. For that we need to set two WSDL destinations in the SLD in section SOAMANAGER.
Or is this only possible for ECC6.0?
Thanks for helping.
Tanguy

Simple example of a profile and publication setup

Post Author: cbaumann
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
Hi
I am using Windows 2000 Server with Business Objects XI Release 2, SP3, english.
I am trying to create a profile and publication to test some scenarios what's the best way to use it. I did not really found a good docu or description, how to set it up. Has anybody a good explanation, maybe using this beach universe ?
I can then try to map this to my universe and see, how to use it.
thanks, Chris

If, for example, you wanted to write in some data and add the time it was added, then sending to Oracle something like:
INSERT INTO MyTab(datacolumns,DateAdded)

where the data values are bound variables from your app, might be the best way to go about it.
Rather than
(Execute) MyInsertProc(datavalues)
where the InsertProc actually does the insertI'd disagree actually; if you've got code occuring on the database then it's much easier to optimize it if the code is all in one place - ie. in a package/procedure/function somewhere in PL/SQL.
I'm with Tom Kyte in that I prefer everything to go through transactional API's - that is, if you're intending to add a new user, have a procedure that calls the inserts into the various tables, updates, etc, rather than having the front end call each insert itself.
If the system is trying to do bulk uploads, well there are better methods of doing that (SQL*Loader or external tables) than row by row single inserts.
This thread is an interesting read, but specifically, Tom's answer here is relevant.

Destination and publication job servers - missing

Hi,
Hi the destination and publication job servers seem to be missing. I need them to setup "Publication via SNC with SAP BW." Am I OK to set them up as follows in CMC?
DESTINATION JOB SERVER - Service Category: Core Services, Service: Destination Delivery Scheduling Service
PUBLICATION JOB SERVER - Service Category: Core Services, Service: Publication Scheduling Service
Also, do I need to include any of the additional services when creating the servers?
Thanks

Seems that it is correct.
But wondering, how come the servers are missing.
You can add those core services.
You can also check by creating new SIA node using CCM. You can try that too.

Metadata Management and CMS

Hello
I have installed BO XIR 3.1 sp3 and Metadata Mangement on a window 2008 sp2 platform. Everything was going well. After a server problem I had to redeploy the Metadata Manager and BOMM apps on tom Cat (5.5).
After the redeployment of the two apps, the BOMM console worked well but it's impossible to view Metadata Management in the cms. Here's the message that I get:
http 404 and :
MetadataManagement/jsp/Integrator_List/list.faces
When I try to configure the repository via the application options of the cms here's what I get:
http 404 :
Management/jsp/Repository_Properties/properties.faces
Do I have to redeploy? refresh a property file ? copy a war file?
Thanks

Hi Harpreet,
Thanks for the reply!
The current architecture is:
PeopleSoft -> SAP ECC -> SAP BI -> BOE -> WebI
We are trying to perform mappings from field names on reports in WebI back to their SAP BI technical name / description, and even into ECC if possible. I was able to run Metadata Integrator in DS to collect lineage information from the BOE server, but this doesn't give me anything further back than BOE. I assumed that I would need to add the remaining steps manually, yet it sounds like you have a better idea.
How can we go about doing this? Are you saying that if I use:
SAP ECC -> DS -> SAP BI -> BOE -> WebI
Then it will show my lineage from WebI all the way to ECC automatically? Do you have any examples of this? If that is the case, then I would like to test it out.
Thanks,
Brian

How to Install Metadata Navigator and LIght Weight Designer

Hi ,
What is the purpose MetadatNavigator and LWD . ?
Is it mandatory for ODI during Data transfer from source to target.. ?
I have JDK 1.5 installed ......
Any additional hardware specification or requirement needed to Metadata navigator and LWD required.........?
( I saw in the setup document that we require ............J2EE 1.4 compliant application server, such as OC4J 10.1.3 and above. )
Can anyone guide me on this ...........
Data transfer will be a one time activity for my requirement.........
Thanks
AK

The Metadata Navigator and Lightweight designer are not required to move data.
Installation is as described in the Installation documentation, very simple.
The purpose of the two:
Metadata Navigator provides a web-browser based interface to the contents of the repository and execution logs, making it easy to see all the artifacts defined in your repository, see the data flow and data lineage in a graphical form, to see the execution logs, and to be able to start, and re-start the execution of scenarios, from that web-browser.
The lightweight designer gives a web-browser interface to be able to modify mappings defined in your interfaces.
