In 2003, distributions started to include metadata files, called META. yml, indicating the distribution's name, version, dependencies, and other useful information ; however, not all distributions contain metadata.

When metadata is not present in a distribution, the PAUSE's software will usually try to analyze the code in the distribution to look for the same information ; this is not necessarily very reliable.

Such generators may include special signals to stimulate various digital effects and problems, such as clipping, jitter, bit errors ; they also often provide ways to manipulate the metadata associated with digital audio formats.

The intent of BSD FFS is to try to localize associated data blocks and metadata in the same cylinder group ; and, ideally, all of the contents of a directory ( both data and metadata for all the files ) in the same or nearby cylinder group, thus reducing fragmentation caused by scattering a directory's contents over a whole disk.

Many people were involved in the production, most notably: Nicholas Negroponte, founder and director of the Architecture Machine Group, who found support for the project from the Cybernetics Technology Office of DARPA ; Andrew Lippman, principal investigator ; Bob Mohl, who designed the map overlay system and ran user studies of the efficacy of the system for his PhD thesis ; Richard Leacock ( Ricky ), who headed the MIT Film / Video section and shot along with MS student Marek Zalewski the Cinéma vérité interviews placed behind the facades of key buildings ; John Borden, of Peace River Films in Cambridge, MA, who designed the stabilization rig ; Kristina Hooper of UCSC ; Rebecca Allen ; Scott Fisher, who matched the photos of Aspen in the silver-mining days from the historical society to the same scenes in Aspen in 1978 and who experiment with anamorphic imaging of the city ( using a Volpe lens ); Walter Bender, who designed and built the interface, the client / server model, and the animation system ; Steve Gregory ; Stan Sasaki, who built much of the electronics ; Steve Yelick, who worked on the laserdisc interface and anamorphic rendering ; Eric " Smokehouse " Brown, who built the metadata encoder / decoder ; Paul Heckbert worked on the animation system ; Mark Shirley and Paul Trevithick, who also worked on the animation ; Ken Carson ; Howard Eglowstein ; and Michael Naimark, who was at the Center for Advanced Visual Studies and was responsible for the cinematography design and production.
