weSee
Traditional technology
Meta information about pictures and documents is stored in the file itself.
If the file is moved, the information will automatically follow.
Meta information is stored in a database in some other place. If a picture is sent by e-mail, the information muse be sent detached.
No pedantic tidiness is required.
If the picture or document is in your computer, you will find it.
A database system requires pedantic discipline. Files changing name or moved can be lost forever.
If the file changes its name, the information is still there. If the file is moved or the file name is altered the information will be lost.
It is easy to identify objects in a picture or on a map. Identifying objects in a picture is complicated.
With weSee you can link files as well as objects to each other. Files and objects can not be linked together with databases + HTML.
Meta information can be retrieved even after 100 years. Sooner or later the picture-file and the database will lose each other.
Information can be stored in many languages but in your computer you only see your specific language. Handling many languages is complicated.
A weSee licence will cost less than 100 Euro and the annual costs are low. The licence fee for database systems ranges from 1 000 to 10 000 Euro.
Annual costs can be much higher.
