<Metability Labs>
We just love to tinker with play with file metadata! Some of our endeavors turn out to be too wild for products, others emerge from the rubble source code and delight our customers. You've come to the right place if you got too much time are curious about our research and development efforts. This section of our site is going to be the home of all things "very technical": early betas, the MetaMind Framework or details on our Scavenger API and its plug-ins.

MetaMind Framework (MMF)
The MMF is our semantically abstracted data layer that radically simplifies how metadata information is presented to the human eye. The framework transforms raw file metadata into smart Information Elements. Applications can access the MMF API (not yet released) either via Web Service or .NET remoting API. Its modular architecture takes care of data persistence, validation, transformations, consolidation, etc. Its configuration is entirely XML-based, including the highly flexible metadata ontology schema that allows literally endless usage scenarios.
