We improved our metadata architecture so teams can manage large video libraries with cleaner search, filtering, categorization, and editorial updates.
Linked project: GLMediaCMSAs the catalog expanded, metadata became harder to keep consistent, and inconsistent fields reduced search quality and operational speed.
- Keep existing publishing workflows intact. - Support frequent metadata edits by multiple users. - Avoid introducing heavy validation friction for editors. - Maintain compatibility with current UI and APIs.
- Standardized core metadata fields and update patterns. - Added guardrails for common input inconsistencies. - Improved API contracts for reliable read/write behavior. - Reduced coupling between metadata editing and processing steps. - Tuned list filtering/search behavior for larger datasets.
Metadata quality improved, search became more useful, and teams could maintain large libraries with less friction.
- Fewer metadata-related content issues. - Faster editorial updates in daily workflows. - Improved relevance in filtered/search views. - Lower support overhead around inconsistent entries.
