Extend Metadata Plugin

[aschaeffer]

The metadata plugin provides support for metadata of different types of objects. For example, dublin core can be used for the metadata of documents. Because of the component model of the reactive graph flow, it's possible to attach metadata via components. This is useful for different types of assets like textures (title, author, creation date) and sound (genre, album, artist, speed, ...). The metadata is useful for different types of applications like game assets and content management.

Goal

There are several meta data formats (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metadata_standard). Currently, only dublin core is provided by the metadata plugin. The goal is to provide components for different metadata formats and read it automatically if the component is applied. This is groundwork for the asset management.

Formats

• ID3 - Music / Sound
• RDF - Web Resources
• BibTeX - Bibliographic
• XMP
