Disappointed - 8mm analog video player Developing Quality Metadata: Building Innovative Tools and Workflow Solutions

I am disappointed by this book. Looking at the book title and author background as a technical architect at BBC Technology system, I expected more.

I was in the delivery to me, if I can read on the plane. But I was very disappointed when the book was not what I expected and decided not to take the book, even in the plane.


He hopes the book will be the design and the metadata model, implementation, use case practicle include the BBC, and expects to use the workflow in quality control, the integration of real production, I didn 'that the authors discuss changlleges and Deployment avoid problems and remedial actions, etc.

However, the structure of the book is quite different from the book into two parts descriva different. The first part, the "theory" that the author calls it, for some time descriva related to metadata, such as land, the time of analysis, database, XML, Indian small and large, the data in text format (CVS , HSV), graphic and image standards, scripting language, script language, shell, Unix, etc. --- in other words, each disjoPrinted scientific issues related to metadata-related information available. There are even descriptions of the little things on the mailing --
and metadata on the radio (which is useful), is not all very organized.

The entire first part provides a basis for the second part, the author called tutorials: 62 tips on how most of them only on Unix shell commands / scripts that can not or metadata relating to:

eg

Tutorial 9: Control files its operating system
Tutorial 10: Measurement and the use of Disk Control
Tutorial 37: the shortest distance between two cities
Tutorial 48: Test URL hyperlinks

These scripts are useful for Unix shell, but many books are available in the standard Unix shell, and do not belong to a book metadata. If you use a set of Unix shell scripts to commemorate develop their system, should not the UNIX Shelbourne key elements of DAM / MAM systems.

Overall, the book is not very helpful.
