Yonah Levenson (COM’82) of Teaneck, N.J., writes, “In March of 2019, I gave a presentation, called Metadata and Taxonomies: You Don’t Have to Start from Scratch, at the Henry Stewart Digital Asset Management conference held in New York City. The Henry Stewart organization announced that my presentation was the most watched video from their collection for 2020. I am the cofounder and codirector of Rutgers’ digital asset management certificate program. I am also the founder and chair of the Language Metadata Table working group, which is a standardized table of codes for languages used in the media and entertainment space. Adopters include WarnerMedia, Showtime/Viacom, Disney, and many others. Currently, I’m the manager of metadata strategy and taxonomy governance at WarnerMedia. All this because I started typesetting at the Daily Free Press in 1979.” Email Yonah at yonah.levenson@gmail.com.
