There is no way to search the web for the metadata (digital fingerprint) embedded in a image or video file ...Yet. For use as a way to copyright, track or retain ownership it would be Pretty cool. To enable tagging or some other helpful feature, that too would be cool. But because this is still murky ground and prone to spoofing or worse ID theft (add someone else's metadata to a image or video) it is a concern.
Something to keep in mind. <http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2007/07/beware_your_met.html> <http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/> <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exif> <http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/archives/005371.php> "It's also possible to remove (or change) the EXIF tag data using photo-editing software." <http://tinyurl.com/yb8qfr> <http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/exifsoftware/EXIF_IPTC_XMP_Software_Metadata_Readers_Editors_Extraction_Tools.htm> "EXIF, IPTC, XMP Software - Metadata Readers, Editors, Extraction Tools Almost all digital cameras store extra information, called metadata, with your pictures. The extra information captured by your camera is called EXIF data, which stands for Exchangeable Image File Format. While most current photo manipulation software supports the reading of this information, there are many specialized tools for reading, editing, extracting and converting EXIF information. You can also store information in your pictures using other types of metadata. Two of the most commonly used formats of metadata for photos are: IPTC, the standard developed by the International Press Telecommunications Council; and XMP, the "Extensible Metadata Platform" developed by Adobe. The software listed here is designed for working with all types of metadata including EXIF, IPTC, and XMP." --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "Bill Cammack" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > http://gigaom.com/2007/09/05/facebook-open-to-public-search/ > > -- > billcammack > http://realfans.tv >
