Digital Sound Files and the ContentDepot


Metadata



Metadata is the information or data that accompanies a piece of digitized content. The term metadata can be applied to any data related to a piece of content, so when you submit an broadcast audio file to the ContentDepot, all accompanying information necessary to process and describe your program (e.g., episode title, episode description, rundown, file size, program length, etc.) is metadata.
