Documentation:Kaltura/Guidelines for Metadata

When uploading media onto Kaltura, naming methods may vary on the files themselves. UBC recommends following these following guidelines to assist human readability, provide consistency across videos on Connect, and help make videos easier to locate through tagging.

Titles

• Use sentence case – only uppercase the first letter of the title, proper names (people, places) and acronyms.
• Drop initial articles like “A” and “The”.
• Separate a sub-title from the title proper with a colon (:)

Tags

• If possible save this tag for subject keywords only
• Separate the words or phrases with a comma.

Description

• Include items such as the date or the affiliation of the video creator/uploader.
• This may also be used for an abstract or brief summary of a resource, a table of contents, etc. It can also been used to record notes about the resource.
