MusicBrainz

MusicBrainz is a community music metadatabase that attempts to create a comprehensive music information site. You can use the MusicBrainz data either by browsing this web site, or you can access the data from a client program — for example, a CD player program can use MusicBrainz to identify CDs and provide information about the CD, about the artist or about related information. You can also use the MusicBrainz Tagger to automatically identify and clean up the metadata tags in your digital music collections. Find out more in the introduction.
SML Wiki: Interestingness(note: work in progress)
by decembre
Interestingness is a media (images, videos, etc) ranking algorithm to provide as an additional metric for search results. The algorithm is based upon an algorithm created by the Flickr team, and is further enhanced by metadata knowledge resulted from the Del.icio.us development. The algorithm was first unveiled publicly on Flickr on 2005-08-01.1 SML.SML: Interestingness = f(views, faves, comments, tags, time, user, network relationships); The ranking is based on one or more of the following factors: * the quantity of user-entered metadata2 (i.e. tags) * the number of users who have assigned metadata3 * the number of favorites assigned to the photo4 * relationship between the person who uploaded the photo and the people who are commenting5 * access patterns related to the media object6 (i.e. where the clickthroughs are coming from; who comments on it and when)7 * a lapse of time related to the media object8 (i.e. velocity of metadata acquisition)

Flickr - Sauvegarde/export globale des données(métadonnées) - Wiki URFIST
by decembre
Flickr présente l'inconvénient majeur de ne pas permettre une sauvegarde/export globale des données, alors même que Exporter les images est facile, mais le problème principal demeure: comment sauvegarder les métadonnées ajoutées aux photographies. Conserver les métadonnées dans les images même et non dans un fichier externe. C'est le sens de la règle d'or posée par Erwyn Van Der Meer, l'auteur de l'outil Flickr Metadata Synchr, listé plus haut, dans un article où il fait un point très clair et synthétique sur les formats et la façon dont Flickr les utilise (ou pas): "Store the metadata in your images!" De quelles métadonnées parle-t-on? * celles enregistrées par l'appareil (digital) au moment où la photographie est prise (informations techniques); format de référence: EXIF * celles ajoutées manuellement (en particulier les mots-clés / tags); formats: IPTC (plus) et XMP(plus), le second plus récent et traitant l'unicode.

Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.
