Free bitzi metadata software for linux

Phex is a P2P filesharing client which is based on the Gnutella network. Phex offers advanced functions and integrates all common Gnutella extensions like multi-source downloads and advanced search features.
Main features:
Phex is a FREE of spyware and adware
- Phex never containd any kind of spyware, adware or any other kind of bundled software.
Multi-plattform support
- Whether you use MAC OS X, Linux, Solaris, or Windows Phex is able to run on them all. All you need is a operation system that offers a Java 1.4 Runtime Environment.
Multi-source downloads (Swarming)
- Often the file you like to download is available on different hosts. Phex will request different segment of the file from each host in parallel. After successfully downloading a segment Phex will merge it with the other segments of the file. This results in a much higher download speed. If a host is too slow the segment is split during download and given to an another host. To make sure you never run out of hosts Phex is able to find new download hosts by itself with the automatic search functionality.
Advanced configuration options
- Phex offers very advanced configuration options. Much more then many other clients can offer. Especially advanced user can configure Phex according to there needs and are able to tune and see the effect of different settings.
Passive searching and snooping for files
- With the passive search functionality Phex is able to constantly monitor the traffic that goes through the network and collect search results that match your passive search term. Also Phex snoops the traffic for new download candidates you need to finish your downloads faster. This type of searching is usefull for longtime monitoring of available files on the network.
Other features include:
- Multiple searches.
- Ultrapeer and compression technology for reduced bandwidth.
- Integrated chat.
- Browse host support.
- Bitzi metadata lookup.
- MAGMA support.
Enhancements:
- The GUI received many smaller improvements and a multitude of lesser and bigger changes happened under the hood.
- Download-side THEX integration was added, so poisoned files are no longer possible.
- The upload architecture was redesigned and a far leaner security system is used for better performance and a vastly reduced memory footprint.
- Many bugs were fixed.

Glimmr is a photo uploader for the Flickr web service. Flickr is an online photo gallery, a blog engine, and a community where users upload and share photos and commentary.

As an uploader, Glimmr is responsible for editing photo metadata (such as the Title and Description), and uploading the photos to Flickr.

Glimmr is written in C#/Mono, an Open Source implementation of the .NET platform, and for the GNOME Desktop.

cfvers is a versioning system for configuration files. It is similar to CVS and Subversion, but different in its orientation toward system configuration files, dealing with all file types and attributes.
It does not pollute the filesystem outside its dirs, it keeps both data and metadata (owner, group, perms, atime, mtime), and it deals with all types of files (S_IFSOCK, S_IFLNK, S_IFREG, S_IFBLK, S_IFDIR, S_IFCHR, S_IFIFO).
Main features:
- does not pollute the filesystem outside its dirs;
- keeps both data and metadata (owner, group, perms, atime, mtime);
- deals with all types of files (S_IFSOCK, S_IFLNK, S_IFREG, S_IFBLK, S_IFDIR, S_IFCHR, S_IFIFO);

Goobox is a CD player and ripper.

Goobox is a CD player and ripper for the Gnome Desktop environment, it uses gstreamer to play and rip CDs and cddb-slave2 (distributed with gnome-media) to get and edit CD metadata such as track titles and album name.

MetaFS is a daemon for Linux (and Linux only) that allows you to access information about your files (such as MP3 tags or JPEGs EXIF tags) easily and consistently using extended attributes.
MetaFS project also allows you to perform fast searches using this information. MetaFS is extensible, so anyone can write plugins to access new types of metadata.
MetaFS uses the FUSE library to act as a layer between user programs and the filesystem, which allows indexes to be kept up-to-date in realtime, and eliminates the need for a specialized metadata API.
It provides custom extended attributes (including ACLs) for those filesystems that dont have them, and it provides a plugin infrastructure which can be extended to provide searching and expose file-format-specific metadata (e.g. ID3 or EXIF tags) as extended attributes.
Plugins which are planned include:
- provide stat() data as extended attributes [implemented]
- allow users to set their own EAs and ACLs [implemented]
- automatic MIME type detection (which is set in an EA) based on the files contents and extension [implemented]
- extract metadata from MP3 and Ogg files as EAs
- indexing interface to store metadata
- search interface to quickly locate files using this metadata (I am considering whether or not it is feasible to allow users create Evolution-like vFolders for their searches. I am also considering the security implications of searching; users should not see search results for other users private data.)

MindRaider is Semantic Web outliner. MindRaider aims to connect the tradition of outline editors with emerging technologies. MindRaider mission is to organize not only the content of your hard drive but also your cognitive base and social relationships in a way that enables quick navigation, concise representation and inferencing.
There are basically two pieces of the Semantic Web which user agent should accomplish - annotating content with metadata, and doing stuff with that metadata. MindRaider is here to help you with correlation of information related to particular thought. You must change your stereotypes.
Start with your personal resources like files, links, thoughts, friends, etc. These resources can be in turn represented as/associated with Concepts that are organized to Notebooks.
On top of the Concepts within a Notebook is built (RDF based) metadata layer that enables MindRaider to provide various Notebook facets (flat/hierarchical/graph-oriented but also semantic based views). Notebooks are further organized to Folders allowing you to build custom thematical domains.
Enhancements:
- New features include localization support, Gnowsis integration, OneNote like annotations, Java 1.5 support, and more.

Rhizome is a Wiki-like content management and delivery system that exposes the entire site -- content, structure, and metadata as editable RDF. This means that instead of just creating a site with URLs that correspond to a page of HTML, with Rhizome you can create URLs that represent just about anything, such as:
- structural components of content (such as a bullet point or a definition).
- abstract entities that can be presented in different ways depending on the context.
- relationships between entities or content, such as annotations or categories.
Rhizome is designed to enable non-technical users to create these representations in an easy, ad-hoc manner. To this end, it includes a text formatting language which similar to a Wikis but lets you author arbitrary XML content and RDF metadata. And for developers, this allows both content and structure to be easily repurposed and complex web applications rapidly developed.
The long-term vision is that each Rhizome site will intertwine together, forming an emergent fuzzy taxonomy over a peer-to-peer network.
The nearer-term goals of Rhizome are:
- To allow (relatively) non-technical folk to create "Semantic web"-enabled web sites.
- To provide a platform for the rapid-development of web applications
- To provide a test-bed for experimenting with new forms of collaborative knowledge production and communication
- A showcase and test-bed for its underlying technologies: Rx4RDF, ZML, and Raccoon
Main features:
Wiki ease
- All the functionality of a Wiki: public and automatic creation of pages and links using simple text formatting rules
- But the same formatting rules can used to author arbitrary HTML, XML and RDF
- And you can create and edit not just content but also the metadata, site structure and appearance, even application behavior
- Including dynamic pages: supports XSLT, RxSLT, Python, RxUpdate
- Thus enabling dynamic, rule and context based presentation of content
Advanced Content Management functionality
- pages can consist of any content: xml, html, binary, etc.
- content, metadata and site structure is a stored as RDF: enabling it be repurposable, human editable, application agnostic, etc.
- flexible authorization and security model
- staging/release workflow
- native versioning of content and metadata, conflict detection
- supports local file system or browser-based development
- can generate static websites
- import/export of content and metadata
- flexible backend: supports multiple RDF engines (Redland, 4Suite, RDFLib) with multiple datastores: file based, SQL databases, embeddable databases (Sleepycat, Metakit)
XHTML or arbitrary XML can be authored in ZML in a manner very similar to Wiki text formatting rules. Rhizome comes with built-in support for Apache Forrest document types and has preliminary support for DocBook. You can also easily view and edit RDF metadata for the site using RxML.
Almost all of Rhizomes functionality can be found its dynamic pages, which are written in RxSLT, XSLT, and RxUpdate. These can be edited like any other page, making it easy to add and change functionality without restarting the server. You can use RxUpdate to migrate the underlying schema at run-time. Rhizome supports fine-grained authorization and versioning of both metadata and content, so you have some guard rails too.
Enhancements:
- This release adds "shredding": a framework (including GRDDL support) for extracting RDF from content and maintaining the relationship between them over time.
- It also includes better support for viewing and editing RDF directly with most RDF formats.
- There are also several UI enhancements, including a new UI for managing users and roles, more Wiki features, and page and comment spam detection via the Akismet service.
- Last but not least, it is several times faster than previous releases.
