AI-PWERED METADATA MANAGEMENT & TAXONOMY Metadata that drives action
Fotoware helps you structure and enrich metadata across millions of images and files, from ingestion to delivery. Your teams find the right file in seconds, and every workflow, rule and integration runs on information you can trust.
-
Improve governance and content control
Create a shared metadata framework across teams and systems.
-
Accelerate content discovery and reuse
Help users find and reuse content to get more value from existing content.
-
Manage growing content volumes
Use structured metadata as the foundation for workflow automation and integrations.
CONTROLLED VOCABULARIES Describe every term the same way, every time
Spelling variants in metadata creates duplicates which break search. Controlled vocabularies give every team the same approved terms, so "Switzerland", "Sveits" and "CH" become one value.
- Hierarchical taxonomies, from broad to specific
- Locked lists that prevent ad hoc terms
- Taxonomy filters for fast, precise search
- One shared vocabulary across departments

HIERARCHICAL METADATA TAXONOMY Organize content with metadata in a way that makes sense
Flat categories and disconnected tags make it harder to navigate and discover related content. Create structured content hierarchies that reflect how your assets relate to each other, making content easier to find and reuse.
- Hierarchical category structures
- Parent-child relationships between topics
- Related content and concept linking
- Consistent organization across repositories

HIGH-SPEED METADATA EDITING Apply the right metadata at scale, without the hours
Manual tagging cannot keep up with high-volumes of incoming files. Instead, you can auto-apply values using AI, macros or metadata-driven workflows.
- Batch edit thousands of files at once
- Macros that add values on upload
- Workflows triggered by metadata changes
- Automatic updates when rights or status change
AI METADATA ENRICHMENT Let AI fill the gaps, within your vocabulary
Batch updates can only add metadata you already have somewhere. Fotoware uses AI to detect objects in your image and suggest tags, captions, categories, matched to your controlled vocabularies. Your team approves or overrides every suggestion for full control.
- Auto-tagging, captions and categories
- Text in images (OCR) stored as searchable metadata
- AI metadata translation for multilingual libraries
- Suggestions reviewed by people, never applied blindly
METADATA ACROSS SYSTEMS Keep metadata intact as files move between systems
Metadata often lives in collection management systems, PIM platforms and editorial tools, and gets stripped when files travel. Fotoware exchanges metadata with your best-in-breed ecosystem through integrations and open APIs, and preserves provenance as files are edited and published.
- Sync metadata with CMS, PIM and collection systems
- Open REST APIs for custom integrations
- Metadata retained on export and delivery
- Provenance preserved with C2PA support
"It's crucial for the publication process that we have all this metadata. This is the most common way to work with the system and is one of the processes that is completely automated."
