tasvirdir

Tasvirdir is a term used in Persian-speaking digital imaging communities to describe a standardized image directory and its accompanying metadata conventions. The concept emphasizes organized storage, consistent naming, and machine-readable data to support cataloging, retrieval, and interoperability across software systems. It is not tied to a single official specification, but rather to a family of practices that share common goals and patterns.

A typical tasvirdir structure centers on a project-root directory containing subfolders and files that help manage images and related assets. Common conventions include organizing files by year, event, subject, or photographer, and using descriptive, consistent file names. A project-level manifest or index file, such as tasvirdir.json or tasvirdir.yaml, may describe the collection, its assets, and basic metadata. Optional sidecar files and metadata records commonly accompany image files to capture technical and descriptive information without modifying the original data.

Metadata and formats play a central role in tasvirdir. Image files are usually stored in standard formats such as JPEG, PNG, TIFF, or WEBP, while metadata may be embedded in EXIF and XMP blocks or stored in separate JSON or YAML files. Simple search and retrieval tasks are supported by the structured directory layout and the manifest, enabling lightweight asset management and easier migration between systems.

Adoption of tasvirdir-inspired practices is common among photographers, archivists, and small-to-medium content management workflows. Critics point to fragmentation in implementations and the need for clearer, widely adopted guidelines to ensure true interoperability. See also digital asset management and image metadata standards.
