Device Metadata
Device metadata standards are published by ATIS, DS, ISO, IEC, S+, and CSA, and are about information about the device on which a piece of data was created. ATIS-0800046 covers IPTV metadata for lightweight devices. DS standards cover metadata for identification of color gamut and data encoding protocol for television metadata. ISO documents cover JPSearch topics. IEC documents cover identification of color gamut and digital audio interface. S+ IEC 61966-12-1 also covers identification of color gamut. CSA R100 covers hydrometeorological monitoring stations.
ATIS-0800046
IPTV EPG Metadata for Light-Weight Devices
The purpose of this specification is to define a subset of the Electronic Program Guide (EPG) metadata model in ATIS-0800020, IPTV EPG Metadata Specification, that includes the most important elements and attributes of the full EPG metadata model, but is small enough to be suitable for light-weight devices. NOTE - Annex B, ATIS IIF EPG Metadata for Light-Weight Devices Schema, of this Standard has also been formatted as a separate file and electronically packaged with this standard.

The metadata can be associated with wide-gamut video colour content or to a piece of equipment to display the content. When associated with content, the colour gamut metadata defines the gamut for which the content was created. It can be used by the display for controlled colour reproduction even if the display’s colour gamut is different from that of the content. When associated with a display, the colour gamut metadata defines the display colour gamut. It can be used during content creation to enable improved colour reproduction. The colour gamut metadata can cover associated colour encoding information, which includes all information required for a controlled colour reproduction, when such information is not provided by the colour encoding specification. The colour gamut metadata scheme provides scalable solutions. For example, more flexible solutions will be used for the professional use, while much simpler solutions will be used for consumer use with easier product implementation. This part of IEC 61966 only defines the colour gamut metadata scheme. Vendor-specific solutions for creation and end-use of this metadata are allowed. IEC 61966-12-1:2020 cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2011. This edition constitutes a technical revision.

CSA R100-2020
Canadian metadata standard for hydrometeorological monitoring stations
Preface This is the first edition of CSA R100, Canadian metadata standard for hydrometeorological monitoring stations. CSA Group has been commissioned to develop four national standards focusing on data collected by hydrometeorological monitoring stations and descriptive data about the stations. The standards are for a) the collection and public dissemination of metadata for hydrometeorological monitoring stations; b) siting, design, and operations of hydrometeorological stations; c) a data quality rating system; and d) the exchange of hydrometeorological data sets across information systems. These standards will promote the standardization of methods, procedures, techniques, and practices used for collecting hydrometeorological data and related information across Canada. Standardization and improved best practices will help make more hydrometeorological observations become more easily accessible to a larger and better-informed audience. The availability of standardized sets of metadata, and through a single portal, also helps gain access to information required for homogenizing data, improving asset management, and optimizing monitoring networks. CSA Group acknowledges that the development of this Standard was made possible, in part, by the financial support of the Standards Council of Canada. This Standard was reviewed, evaluated, and tested for Canadian adoption by the CSA R-100 Weather Stations Metadata Committee, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Technical Committee on Weather Stations and the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Environment and Business Excellence, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee. This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group. Scope This Standard promotes best practices for collecting metadata for hydrometeorological stations and for publishing those metadata publicly at a central repository. Any operator of a hydrometeorological station located in Canada should follow the WIGOS Metadata (see https://library.wmo.int/doc_num.php?explnum_id=10109). The metadata collected includes information about the observed variable, purpose of the observations, station, monitoring environment, instruments and methods of observation, sampling, data processing and reporting, data quality, ownership and data policy and contacts. This Standard also provides data users with the metadata taxonomy and the necessary definitions of the metadata elements. Metadata for any hydrometeorological station located in Canada, and for which the data are available, should be uploaded to the OSCAR/Surface metadata base (see https://oscar.wmo.int/surface/#/). This Standard is an adoption without modification of the WMO WIGOS Metadata Standard (WMO 2019c), a semantic standard that specifies the metadata elements for observations, that can be recorded and exchanged, and the WMO OSCAR/Surface metadatabase (WMO 2020).

IEC 60958-4-2 Ed. 1.0 b:2016
Digital audio interface - Part 4-2: Professional applications - Metadata and subcode
IEC 60958-4-2:2016 specifies the format for coding metadata, or subcode, that relates to the audio content and is carried with it. This part of IEC 60958, together with IEC 60958-1, IEC 60958-4-1, and IEC 60958-4-4, specifies an interface for serial digital transmission of two channels of periodically sampled and linearly represented digital audio data from one transmitter to one receiver. This first edition, together with IEC 60958-4-1 and IEC 60958-4-4, cancels and replaces IEC 60958-4 published in 2003 and its Amendment 1:2008 and constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC 60958-4:2003 with its Amendment 1:2008:
- support for a wider range of physical media;
- support for a wider range of audio sampling frequencies;
- deprecation of "minimum implementation" of channel status data.
