Billion dollar financial software, data and media company Bloomberg has recently released a white paper about a new monetization technology called Metadata.

The main concept of metadata is a unified content and communication platform for various groups and teams in a single organization used to monetize each workflow, application, production and manufacturing stages of media companies through

“Ultimately, for any media company that’s producing, curating and distributing large volumes of content, metadata is the foundation that they’re putting in place. Nearly every part of any workflow relies on some component of metadata, so it’s crucial to establish consistent, thorough systems of organization. Today, metadata drives content organization, workflow optimization and automation—all of which are necessary for today’s content producers and distributors to compete,” explains Bloomberg.

There are 5 main types of metadata:

Structural metadata – interaction between digital resource and other resources. For example, an indication of a relationship between a photo and a news article.
Technical metadata – creation of a digital resource. For example, the editing software used to enhance image quality and reformat illustrations.
Descriptive metadata – content or meaning of the asset
Administrative metadata – management of content. For example, database or servers used to store digital creations.
Rights metadata – licensing of media and creations.
