*Decoding Metadata: Unveiling the Essence of Data*
In this video, I discuss metadata, which is the data about my data. Metadata is found in all types of documents, including pictures and PDFs.
*The Crucial Role of Metadata in Documents*
For example, metadata provides information such as the camera used for taking a picture or the author and title of a PDF.
*Calibre and Metadata: A Game-Changer in E-book Organization*
When importing documents into Calibre, a software for organizing e-books, if the metadata is incorrect, the program may list it as "author unknown" or "title unknown."
*Challenges in Metadata Accuracy: Navigating the Roadblocks*
Ideally, metadata should be created correctly when the document is originally created. However, sometimes this is not possible, such as when scanning books using the NAPS2 software.
*Mac Users' Solution: Editing Metadata with "PDF Meta"*
To fix incorrect metadata, I recommend using "PDF meta" software, which is available for Mac users. I'll demonstrate how the software works by dragging and dropping documents into the program. Within the software, I can edit the author, title, subject, and keywords for the document. The changes made to the metadata can then be saved.
*Long-Term Benefits: Ensuring Correct Metadata in Calibre Library*
I conclude by emphasizing that fixing metadata before adding documents to my Calibre Library ensures that the correct metadata is stored for the long term.
