What are the different metadata fields for in the Metadata presets?

The metadata preset box has a comprehensive array of metadata sections and fields. I just don't know what a lot of them should be used for. Some of them appear to duplicate headings in other fields, albeit with different names.
Can someone tell me what kind of information the following fields are meant for?
Basic Info
Label - I've seen this used for the authors credit. The "Creator" and "Copyright" fields seem to take care of this though. Should it be used for something  else?
Copy Name - ?
IPTC Content
Headline - I've read that this is for describing the content. Isn't the "Caption" field in Basic Info for this?
IPTC Subject Code - ?
Description Writer - The author/creator? If not, who?
IPTC Image
Intellectual Genre - Same as "Category"?
ISO Country Code - ?
IPTC Status
Title - This may seem obvious, but the title often appears in the caption.
Job Identifier - I'm assuming this is for applying information pertinent to the author's filing system. If I'm wrong, what is it for?
Instructions - as above?
Provider - Author again?
Source - Author yet again?
I'm sure there will be those who will argue that some or even most fields can be used for whatever information we wish to put in. My point is that they must be there for specific reasons.
Oh yes, before someone points me in the direction of the IPTC website, I've been there already and it was full of gobbledygook!
Thanks in advance.

Also on the IPTC photo metadata site is a more approach able guide to using the fields:
http://www.iptc.org/std/Iptc4xmpCore/1.0/documentation/Iptc4xmpCore_1.0-doc-CpanelsUserGui de_13.pdf
This guide was written for the original 1.0 IPTC Core specification, but I think it covers most of the terms you want to understand better. Specifically, it talks about the different roles the Headline, Title and Description (aka Caption) play as well as the Creator, Source and Provider.
Examples:
Headline:
A headline is a brief publishable synopsis/summary of the contents of the photograph. The Headline term should not be confused with the Title term.
Description:
The Description field, often referred to as a “caption” is used to describe the who, what and why of what is happening in the photograph. If there is a person or people in the image, this caption might include their names, and/or their role in the action that is taking place. If the image is of a location, then it should give information regarding the location....
Here are three other places you might want to look for or ask about how other photographers are using the metadata:
The PhotoMetadata.org web site
http://www.photometadata.org/
David Rieck's ControlledVocabulary.com
http://www.controlledvocabulary.com/
-See Resources > CV Forum to find the Yahoo! groups forum for the site.
Peter Krogh's, the DAM Book site and forum:
http://www.thedambook.com/
http://thedambook.com/smf/index.php
The "Label" field is used to control the colored label that's displayed for the file in Lightroom, Bridge and (when opening multiple files) in the Camera Raw plugin. Both Lightroom and Bridge ship with default values mapped to the six-standard label colors. In Lightroom choose the Metadata > Color Label Set > Edit... to change them. In Bridge, use the Label panel in the Bridge preferences dialog.
You can really use this for whatever you need, but unlike the other terms defined by the IPTC, you should not necessarily expect others to use them for the same thing. Putting the photographer's name there probably doesn't make much sense. I know one Photographer who's assigned the name of a stock agency to each of the label colors so he can track what file was sent to what agency.

  • What does the acronym PH stand for in the article id number

    Trying to figure out what the different acronyms stand for in the article id number. I know HT stands for how to and TS stands for trouble shooting. What does PH and HE stand for.

    PH refers to product help; these articles are the same as the product's content in the Help Viewer.

  • What are Apple doing to compensate for the damage caused by the iPhone 4 bumper?

    I have noticed damage caused by the bumper.
    It is NOT foreign object but caused by the hard plastic on the inside of the bumper
    (plese do not come out with rubbish like steel is harder than plastic) I am not stupid and I know that the damage matches the pattern of the bumper skeleton.
    What I want to know is when are Apple going to deal with this and replace my phone?
    I dare not go to the so called Genius bar in Milton Keynes as they have adopted a Dixons style "fob off" attitude and I will become rather angry with them.

    Re: What are Apple doing to compensate for the damage caused by the iPhone 4 bumper? 
    15-Jun-2011 15:15 (in response to sfrommilton keynes)
    o Steel is harder than plastic, so the bumper has not caused the damage.
      - You call it rubbish
      - The world calls it physics
    You are totally wrong.  Please go back to School.
    o You can deny physics
      - but that will not change reality.
    You can go to School but that wont change reality.
    o Your description of your Genius bar is incomprehensible
      - I recommend you go to the Genius bar leaving the chip on your shoulder at home and tactfully explain what you think is your issue.
    I recomend you find a day job ans stop TROLLING peoples threads.
      - I've never had them fail me or be the least bit confrontational.
      - But if you act like a jerk then I couldn't predict what would happen
    Yeah because you were there.  Are you having some kind of relationship with the company?  I think you sleep with an Apple under your pillow.
    Finally I am a consumer who has paid for a product that is not living up to expectations.  The plastic skelton is hard and abrasive (I know what that means as I went to School) Abrasion's are marking the product. 
    This is not the only time this has been reported and as such I have no issue with particles entering the bumber.  This has happened from the start (when I used Apples stupid bumber case)
    Please don't patronise or TROLL others threads.

  • Can you use the same charging cable for both an iPhone and an IPad or are they different?  When I use the charging cable for my iPhone on my Ipad, it doesn't charge.

    Can you use the same charging cable for both an iPhone and an IPad or are they different?  When I use the charging cable for my iPhone on my Ipad, it doesn't charge.

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html

  • ITUNES - Are there disadvantages to using different Apple IDs for inistalling the .app?

    ITUNES - Are there disadvantages to using different Apple IDs for inistalling the .app file not overwrite the previous one at itunes?

    In my opinion it is best to use one Apple ID on your computer and iPad. Using multiple IDs causes confusion.
    I also suggest that each person with their own iOS device have their own unique Apple ID. On the computer create different accounts for each user so that iTunes on each account can be associated with the correct Apple ID.

  • Not able to see Metadata fields when adding the fields to the rule in UCM

    Not able to see Metadata fields when adding the fields to the rule even after creating them in information fields of configuration manager.It is happening for few fields only.We are using 10.1.3 version of UCM.Kindly provide a solution if any.

    Dhilipan,
    I am trying to setup AES at the current Customer.
    You are right on LR_JP to be linked to customs code list instead of ACE and I do achieve that if I were to maintain the Custom code list by maintaining the assignment for EAR in a separate test.
    I was infact trying to follow the link: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/30c7015e-c191-2d10-71b9-95907dc8edd1?overridelayout=t…
    On this document, if you look at page# 14 thru 17, it has the steps I described in my original note with customs code still appearing in the drop down for 'EXCPT' for EAR.
    Nevertheless, I wanted to default Type = C50 when the license type for the line on the Customs declaration is 'EXCPT' but if you see the very last screen-shot below, even though the license type configuration has default value as 'C50' it did not get pulled into the line item Documents tab when I tried to pick the category as 'CUII'.
    Let me know your thoughts on defaulting the data into Customs declaration for AES filing.
    What I want to achieve is the following:
    When License type is 'EXCPT', system should default the type as 'C50'
    Should put the License type 'EXCPT' into the number field
    Should put the actual License# 'ENC' into the Supplement field
    Should put the ECCN # '5A002' into the Details field
    Thanks,

  • What are views in DDIC and plz mention the difference between them

    hi,
    What are views in DDIC and plz mention the difference between the different type of views..
    1) maintainence view
    2)database view
    3)Projection view
    4)help view
    P.S : Good answers will be rewarded with points.

    Hi,
    The followings are different types of views:
    - Database View   (SE11)
    Database views are implement an inner join, that is, only records of the primary table (selected via the join operation) for which the corresponding records of the secondary tables also exist are fetched. Inconsistencies between primary and secondary table could, therefore, lead to a reduced selection set. 
    In database views, the join conditions can be formulated using equality relationships between any base fields. In the other types of view, they must be taken from existing foreign keys. That is, tables can only be collected in a maintenance or help view if they are linked to one another via foreign keys.
    - Help View    ( SE54)
    Help views are used to output additional information when the online help system is called. 
    When the F4 button is pressed for a screen field, a check is first made on whether a matchcode is defined for this field. If this is not the case, the help view is displayed in which the check table of the field is the primary table. Thus, for each table no more than one help view can be created, that is, a table can only be primary table in at most one help view. 
    - Projection View
    Projection views are used to suppress or mask certain fields in a table (projection), thus minimizing the number of interfaces. This means that only the data that is actually required is exchanged when the database is accessed.
    A projection view can draw upon only one table. Selection conditions cannot be specified for projection views.
    - Maintenance View   ( SE54 )
    Maintenance views enable a business-oriented approach to looking at data, while at the same time, making it possible to maintain the data involved. Data from several tables can be summarized in a maintenance view and maintained collectively via this view. That is, the data is entered via the view and then distributed to the underlying tables by the system
    Thanks,
    Shankar

  • LSMW: What are Fixed Values and Translations for?

    Hi,
    I'm working with LSMW and I don't know what are Fixed Values and Translations for? They are on the "Maintain Fixed Values, Translations, User-Defined Routines" step.
    Thanks in advance,
    Gerard

    this is the step,we can process the reusable rules of a project.
    <b>Fixed value:</b> Here you can specify length, type, flag for lowercase/uppercase and value in addition to the description.
    this is nothing but CONSTANTS in your report programs.
    <b>Translation:</b> Here you can enter information on the source field and the target field.
    for example, your input file language value will be 2 characters and we need to send only 1 for LANG in SAP.
    so here we have to do the translation of 2chars to 1 char.
    so, we will give these set of values in this step.

  • What are Crypto Cards, and what are they different from Java Cards?

    Hi,
    I just heard the name 'Crypto Card'. I thought Java Card is the only standard for smart card. Could anyone tell me what are Crypto Cards, and what are they different from Java Cards? Thanks in advance.
    Joey

    Probably any card that offers cryptographic capabilities (crypto coprocessor) could be called "Crypo Card", but likely the term was referred to cards offering a pkcs#11 interface.
    Pkcs#11 is the standard for accessing crypto devices, like tokens, cards, or accelerators. Such a device can be easily accessed for example from your browser to perform cryptographic and digital signature operations.
    A Javacard can operate as a pkcs#11 device in you install on it an applet dealing with the pkcs#11 requests.

    Hi
    This is probably due to inconsistencies of your Business Area field setting in G/L Account's Field Status Group (<b>OBC4</b>) against the Field Selection of your Account Assignment Category (check IMG -> MM --> Purchasing --> Account Assignment --> Maintain Account Assignment Categories)
    Or else Run program <b>RM07CUFA </b>giving the G/L account and movement type, and then highlight the errors
