Adaptive metadata

Adaptive metadata focuses on the information required for the specific content. If your content model defines your basic information as always including the address, then where does your product category live?

Build your Information Architecture (Data Model)

You can build your data model and permission sets from scratch. You are completely free to do so, but we suggest talking to a Fotoware Alto solution specialist for best practice advice. If you decide to do it yourself, you should ask yourself several questions before starting to configure Fotoware Alto.

Context information on List Items

The Content Platform enriches your tags with additional contextual information, which is required for search engine optimization inside and outside Fotoware Alto, and makes your users happy.

Strictly structured content

Virtual Types or Lists enable users to work more easily with content in Fotoware Alto that adheres to a defined structure without having to worry about the output format of the content. A defined structure is common to Lists or Virtual Types. 

Unstructured and structured data

Fotoware Alto supports different kinds of metadata concepts: unstructured data input, like free text, and structured data input, similar to Excel tables.
