AI can understand content and answer complex questions with ease. Modern search systems deliver relevant results even when terms don’t match exactly. And classifications can increasingly be generated automatically.
So it’s no surprise that many professionals in technical communication are asking: Do we still need metadata?
What may seem like a replacement at first glance turns out to be a critical foundation in practice: AI does not work without context, structure, and clear semantics — and that’s exactly what metadata provides.
In this presentation, Karsten Schrempp (PANTOPIX) and Jörg Schmidt (RWS) will show why metadata remains essential in technical communication today. You’ll learn how metadata acts as the glue between content, systems, and delivery channels, and what role taxonomies, ontologies, and semantic AI play. We’ll also explore when it actually makes sense to use knowledge graphs in technical communication.
