Leveraging Curated Descriptive Metadata for Competitive Business Value at Sony

Check out this presentation, in which Sony shares their strategy for indexing the Sony Pictures catalog using time-based metadata, how that metadata has become a catalyst for taking advantage of new business opportunities across the studio — and how the MarkLogic Data Hub helps the team continue expanding the reach of their metadata tagging solution.

What’s Hot?

The MarkLogic team was at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2019, the world’s biggest stage to promote some of the biggest ideas shaping the world. This year our theme is “You Have the Answer”—publishers and information providers already have the data, the content and the trust of their customers to create great experiences and lead the digital transformation of the industry.

Check out our comprehensive coverage of this key event in the publishing industry!

Day 1 Blog: Big Ideas to Move the World

At the opening ceremony, Book Fair CEO Juergen Boos announced the theme of “Create Your Revolution” and speakers stressed the critical role of culture and books, including guest nation Norway’s Prime Minister Erna Solberg who said, “reading is crucial for a society with a just social order.” Big ideas indeed!

James Wonder held his office hours on our stand today. James has seen it all, from some of the first digital distribution with AIP to creating the Citation scholarly platform that brought together cross discipline content.

We started the day at Frankfurt US Consul General Patricia Lacina’s private residence with the Orbis Technology team. The discussion covered the EU Commission Digital Single Market initiatives. Susan Wilson, U.S. attaché, gave an overview of the impact of the EU initiatives and outlined how copyright directives now being reviewed by member states could have sweeping impacts to many areas of the information industry markets.
