This website is about TV metadata. TV metadata is information about programs running on TV or streamed over the internet. In the past we could see this information only in TV Guide Magazines. But now the digital representation gets more and more common. In the 90s some set-top boxes had an "EPG" (Electronic Program Guide) that showed a schedule of the running programs. Now we can easily find "Web-EPGs" on the internet. EPGs are becoming part of social networks and complex multimedia applications.

The information is becoming more and more complex. The metadata gets connected with movie and video databases for example. You can search the data by personal preferences and a lot of common criteria. It is not just a supplement to a TV-Programm , but it is a network of data.
