Archive-Grade Metadata

In a world of ephemeral digital content, metadata is the key to permanence. I don't just create assets; I engineer them for the long term. This means applying "Archive-Grade" metadata standards to every photo, video, and design file.

By using IPTC, XMP, and custom JSON-based schemas, I ensure that my 20-year library of 100,000+ Alaska assets remains searchable, verifiable, and meaningful for decades to come.

The Strategy:

  • Semantic Tagging: Moving beyond simple keywords to describe the context, location, and participants in every asset.
  • Provenance Verification: Embedding the "source of truth" within the file itself, ensuring that AI-generated content can never be confused with my original work.
  • Interoperability: Using standard schemas that work across all modern asset management systems.

I believe that an asset without metadata is a liability. I build systems that turn data into a lasting public and professional good.
