ContentWise updates Knowledge Factory

TV personalisation, discovery and recommendations specialist, ContentWise, will show off the latest version of its ContentWise Knowledge Factory metadata management solution at IBC.

Knowledge Factory is an integrated set of metadata management software and tools designed to help operators source, enrich, integrate and maintain better content metadata.

The product is designed to help operators struggling to understand metadata coming from several different sources, as viewers watch content across linear TV, catch-up, DVR, TVOD and SVOD.

Knowledge Factory blends, de-duplicates and enriches data from these different sources to eliminate metadata silos and deliver personalised TV experiences, according to ContentWise.

New features in the updated version of Knowledge Factory include: data source adapter, data export adapter and scripting; item reconciliation; data enrichment; data normalization and data deduplication; and editorial tools for metadata.

“Operators and content providers face enormous challenges today in handling even the simplest of metadata management tasks – and today’s technologies do not have the functionality to support them,” said ContentWise chief technology officer, Pancrazio Auteri.

“To support operators, technologies must automate metadata processing, validate enriched data before it goes live, consolidate workflows and export clean and richer metadata to existing content management systems. Our Knowledge Factory is built precisely to help operators make the most of their metadata, delivering innovative user experiences and smart content discovery.”
