This thread shows the importance of alternative labels in controlled vocabularies. As an Aussie who lived in Britain for 15 years and now lives in Estonia working with people from all over the world, I switch between “trainers”, “runners”, “sneakers” and “spordijalatsid” 😁

“This is why the events taking place in #Ukraine hit the Estonians so hard. We know all too well what does it mean to be attacked by russians.”

Come along to today's IPTC Photo Metadata Conference - there's still time! Even if you can't attend in person, registering will give you access to video recordings of the sessions.

It’s great to see Yle Areena sticking to Finnish expertise and using detailed categorisations of heavy metal as an example for their genre vocabulary work 😂 EBU Tech #EBUDataTechSeminar

The momentum is continuing to build! In the medium/long term C2PA can do this too, but we can start in a simple way today. #generativeAI #metadata IPTC

Just narrowly avoided a scam on Booking.com . The apartment asked me via WhatsApp to send money to an account before they would confirm my reservation. And Booking.com support only picks up the phone if you can supply a confirmation number, so I can't report them. Sigh...

I'm very happy to see this project making it to the next stage after a lot of work by the IPTC Sports Content Working Group over the last couple of years!
