2. MetaFarm™ is a powerful platform for the automated harvesting of all file-based assets.
Watcher – watches any designated drop folders or directories for incoming content placed manually or automatically by a
workflow. Anything that ends up in these folders triggers theHarvester.
Harvester – Harvester is a background process that automatically uses Magnets to harvest metadata from any and all files.
Magnets – Modularized components designed to read specific file formats or metadata sets. Magnets act like “apps” and
can be developed for any type of metadata. Examples include a magnet that extracts media information from any
video/audio file, a magnet that extracts all data as searchable text from any Microsoft Office document, and a magnet that
extracts EXIF metadata from image files.
Stockhouse - A schemaless, structureless data store that quickly indexes anything and everything. The data store is
wrapped in an advanced API layer making search requests and browsing of the content extremely easy to implement. Easily
scale Stockhouse to have multiple redundant backups and highly available instances on clustered systems for extremely
fast performance, security, and reliability.
YieldMap – A user friendly, web and permissions-based graphical interface that provides for basic search and browse
capability via the robust access to the API.
API – A very powerful, very robust API that lets any programmer build any kind of interface, visualization, and powerful query tools to
take full advantage of the massive amount of metadata being managed by Stockhouse.
Helm – A graphical display for configuration and administrator access to the MetaFarm™ environment. Includes visibility
into all running services and their status, magnet selection and configuration, and resource usage.
