Structured Metadata has more meaning than flat keywords.

SwapNeat Metadata is structured. The benefits of structured metadata are covered in the Metadata Primer, but here’s a quick example: A “bulb” is something you use in a garden, and something you use in a light fixture. You can use structured metadata to put “bulb” under both “light fixtures” and “gardening supplies”, giving the word “bulb” extra meaning. When you tag your photographs of light fixtures and gardening supplies, you can use the appropriate tag, and then, you can then search for “bulb” only under “garden supplies” and you won't see pictures of lamps. That's the power of structured metadata at work.

Structured SwapNeat Metadata can take you light-years beyond what is possible with restrictive third-party tag vocabularies and simple flat keyword tagging. Your tags have context and a real meaning to you: you’re not bound by what is available in a third-party standard. Use the tools in SwapNeat Metadata Studio to create it, document it, streamline it, and share it.
