Search, discover and enjoy
Metadata enrichment is all about how searchable your materials are with the aim of quickly locating specific content. Users can search the various contents of your web archive at different metadata levels and in different ways. By using certain categories and tags, it becomes searchable by year, name, collection, volume, content type – the list goes on. Having this functionality is particularly useful for extensive collections and archives hosted online. No one knows your content better than you, so there is also the option via our online heritage platforms to carry out this process yourself if you feel comfortable doing so.
Ideal for:
- Organising large archives and collections
- Speeding up content searches
- Categorising content
- Making your web archive user-friendly
/ The Benefits
Search content quickly
We utilise cutting-edge technology to tag and categorise content, which allows for easy search access within large collections and archives
Organise complex content
Tagging and categorising content gives it a practical structure to organise the information.
Preserve key information
The metadata enrichment process includes extracting data from the materials, so access to important content is not lost.
/ Who We Help
/ How It Works

Based on an honest and expert assessment of your needs, we prepare a customised plan with costs.
