A similar yet earlier term for metadata is "ancillary data."

But, he said, the tapes will not be useful to future scientists without vast amounts of ancillary data.

It also archives image and ancillary data for product generation and distribution.

The "payload" contains either video, video parameters or ancillary data.

Ancillary data is used for several things:

Ancillary data can be put in H/V blanking intervals.

The dominator tree is an ancillary data structure depicting the dominator relationships.

These reserved words have two purposes, for synchronization packets, and for ancillary data headers.

Ancillary data packets may be located anywhere within a serial digital data stream, with the following exceptions:

Some oceanographers have said that Dr. Venter is not collecting enough ancillary data such as water temperature and salinity.

The two outer tracks were reserved for ancillary data - SMPTE time code and the like.

The link number of a given interface is indicated by a VPID packet located in the vertical ancillary data space.

It is also possible to exploit ancillary data, for example, using property values as a guide in a spatial sampling scheme to measure educational attainment and income.

Other than in their use in the header, the codes prohibited to video payload are also prohibited to ancillary data payload.

Identity management systems, products, applications and platforms manage identifying and ancillary data about entities that include individuals, computer-related hardware and applications.

Four channels of 48 kHz 16-20 bit PCM audio, and other ancillary data, are inserted during the vertical blanking interval.

VANC stands for Vertical Ancillary Data Space.

The Data Identifier word (along with the SDID, if used), indicates the type of ancillary data that the packet corresponds to.

The markup and ancillary data just cause a response to be 2-4x the size of an equivalent JSON block, and be far more expensive to parse.

Maintain and improve the accuracy and representativeness of radiation data, expand the ancillary data collection, and extend analysis of existing and newly acquired data.

Instead, a special ancillary data packet known as an EDH packet may be optionally used to provide a CRC check on the data.

Ancillary data packets are commonly divided into two types, depending on where they are located--specific packet types are often constrained to be in one location or another.

Specific applications of ancillary data include embedded audio, EDH, VPID and SDTI.

In 1993 SEG Technical standards committee on ancillary data formats adopted SPS as the standard format for exchanging Geophysical positioning data.

Environmental Quality Information System (or EQuIS) a software package published by EarthSoft, Inc. for analyzing environmental chemistry, geology, limnology, and ancillary data.
