Once I think about new software projects and current-age data uses, I cannot stand raw files anymore. they seem unnatural now. Basically a file should contain one or more data "streams", metadata/attributes, etc. The file should be optimized for sequential, parallel read (like mkv I think) but have reasonable performance for direct ("r...

I'm working on a Silverlight project with the WCF RIA Services beta. I'm using the BlahDomainService.metadata.cs file to validate a field by adding validation attributes, e.g. [RegularExpression]. It was working so I'm trying to put the Error message in a resource file and now it isn't working. The RegEx validation isn't being run on ...
Assuming my question here gets answered what are the options to attaching meta data to an image in my thumbs folder? I thought of placing an xml file in the folder which contains the filename and then the description of it but feel this to be a little clunky. For various reasons I can't use a database in this project which is very limi...
Hi, I'm looking to store some metadata in Docbook (V5) XML files. Specifically, links to various resources related to the article in question. I've found the <info> and related elements, but they do not quite fit my purpose. Is there any way to store free-form metadata in a Docbook file? I really just want key/value pairs stored at the...
I checked through the questions asked on SO on audio metadata, but could not find one which answers my doubt. Where exactly is the metadata of audio files stored, and in what form? Is it in the form of files or in a database? And where is this database of files stored? ...
Hey Guys, Our SEO has asked us to put the ✈ entity (✈) into our description, to possibly assist with our clickthroughs. This works fine in FF, however in IE (surprise surprise) if the client does not have a compatible font for the entity (So far I have only found MS Sans Serif) then it only shows up as sqaures in google results. ...
I have a custom MSBuild task, which processes a set of files and returns a modified subset of this. Basically, I just create a new ITaskItem array out of the input, skipping some items. However, the RecursiveDir metadata disappears when this result set is returned to MSBuild! It is still with the correct values at the end of my custom t...
I am trying to get my svc file working under IIS. In my project, when I press F5 I got the svc working. So I know everything is okay, right? Except for IIS. I am working on a Windows XP Pro machine and in IIS I've added a virtual directory. Here's my code: IcarePlanActions (project: A) namespace WcfServiceLibrary { [ServiceContrac...
I am interested in impersonating well-known Web Services and Wcf Services for integration test purposes. To this end, I would like to capture service metadata, auto-generate service stubs, and host service stubs in a self-hosted environment. Following this article here, I am able to obtain remote Wcf Service metadata and generate contra...
Opencalais lets you submit a string (REST API) ....and it will analyze that string and break it down into named-entities, relationships, keywords, etc. Are there better tools other than opencalais? (both free and commercial) ...
SOME CONTEXT one of my projects requires carrying around some of "metadata" (yes I hate using that word). What the metadata specifically consists of is not important, only that it's more complex than a simple "table" or "list" - you could think of it as a mini-database of information Currently I have this metadata stored in an XML fil...
I am in the process of backing up a filesystem and I need to make sure that the metadata is conserved (the file owner and creation time). The tarfile module in Python is really helpful, and I use it extensively in my solution. However, I cannot create the tar file with files conserving their metadata (presumably because copy and copy2 ...
I am soon going to be writing a component that takes metadata and generates dynamic SQL from it. Mostly we're talking SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE stuff but I suppose it's possible to have some CREATE/ALTER TABLE statements in there too. I'm assured that no existing ORM solution fits the bill but otherwise the details on what where a...
I'm looking for the best tool out there to extract any and all metadata embedded within the most populat image file formats (JPEG and PNG specifically). whatever's in there, I'd like to know about it (XMP, Exif, IPTC, IIM, etc.). Ideally I'm looking for an all-in-one solution that I can run from a command line, but I'm interested to hear...
I have a webforms (framework 3.5) site with a TON of dynamic content. Depending on the url, one or many content items will be sent to the client. I need a way to generate meta keywords for SEO based on the contents of the page (or part of the page, if possible). I've done a little research and am not really turning up anything that addr...
I have a whole pile of MP4 video files and want to apply metadata to them. I am using AtomicParsley for it now, and I see that it claims to support uuid private user extension text Does this mean that I can make up my own tags, (e.g. "User-Who-Downloaded-it") and then apply that to my file? If so how do I do that? ...
Could be that I am overlooking something obvious, but where is pointer metadata stored? For instance if I have a 32-bit int pointer ptr and I execute ptr++ it knows to advance 4 bytes in memory. However, if I have a 64-bit int pointer it knows to advance 8 bytes. So who keeps track of what type of pointer ptr is and where is it stored? F...
This is what I have so far: <?php $file = "18201010338AM16390621000846.png"; $test = file_get_contents($file, FILE_BINARY); echo str_replace("\n","<br>",$test); ?> The output is sorta what I want, but I really only need lines 3-7 (inclusively). This is what the output looks like now: http://silentnoobs.com/pbss/collector/test.ph...
I'm working on an application where the interface metadata is stored in a database. Basically the C# .NET application reads the positions, size and text of buttons, labels, radiobuttons, etc.. from SQL Server tables. As far as I can tell, who ever wrote the application entered all of this information by hand as I cannot find the tool (...
