MetaFarm is a powerful framework to help you tackle big data and metadata problems to save time and money. It builds context and searchability from all your assets. By automatically extracting a broad set of metadata from every file across all your file systems, and associating it to every piece of data in every database you own or have access to, MetaFarm enables an order of magnitude greater ROI. MetaFarm is the easy to implement framework to bring together not just metadata locked inside your files, and data locked inside your silos, but every piece of computer vision and content mining technology in a centralized way. MetaFarm uses a plug-in architecture called magnets to enable the extraction and generation of metadata from all file formats as well as the harnessing of content mining and computer vision technologies.
