Glossary
Every term with where it appears in the product.
The six entry words are covered at greater length under The six words — here in the same meaning.
The signed-in product speaks German, so each entry is headed by the German term as it appears on screen, with the English rendering beside it.
„AI-Label“ · visible AI label
The visible mark in the picture. Not „Label“ on its own — that also names the artwork template and the settings page — and not „Kennzeichnung“ on its own.
Seen in the editor as the heading of the second editing step, in the batch wizard as part of „Zuschnitt & Label“.
„Anker“ · anchor
Three different things:
- The anchor position — one of nine cells in a 3×3 grid where the label sits.
- The anchor text — the largest mandatory text, whose legibility determines the label size.
- The anchor value — the single number calibration produces: the anchor text's cap height divided by the artwork's height.
Asset
The entry in the library — the uploaded file with its verification result, its location and every output produced from it.
To be distinguished from a file: what you upload or download is a file. One asset can have several.
„Bibliothek“ · library
The workspace's holdings. In the sidebar the menu entry reads „Library“.
C2PA
The standard behind Content Credentials. It appears in sentences about the standard and in the trust list — it is not a name for something you operate. The audit surfaces in the product are called „Content-Credentials-Audit“.
Content Credentials
Content Credentials sind die maschinenlesbaren Herkunftsangaben in der Datei — nach dem offenen C2PA-Standard signiert.
Content Credentials are the machine-readable provenance details inside the file — signed to the open C2PA standard.
An English proper noun. It stays untranslated and is not inflected in German.
„Derivat“ · derivative
A signed output produced from an asset in a target format, optionally with a visible label.
„Hinweis“ · notice
The umbrella term for anything the product tells you about a finding. Six levels, each with a consequence of its own rather than a rank:
| Level | Means |
|---|---|
| „Nicht möglich“ (Not possible) | it will not happen |
| „Warnung“ (Warning) | it will, but look |
| „Optimierung empfohlen“ (Better option available) | a measured better setting is ready |
| „Manuelle Prüfung“ (Manual check) | the check did not happen |
| „Information“ | a statement |
| „Erfüllt“ (Passed) | checked and fine |
„Warnung“ concerns the file, „Manuelle Prüfung“ concerns the check. Each level carries a shape of its own, not only a colour.
In a batch's cell analysis, „Hinweis“ is the name of a single level.
„Kalibrierung“ · calibration
Answers one question: which text has to stay legible? And produces one number, the anchor value.
A variant carries exactly one of two tags: „Kalibriert“ (calibrated) or „Unkalibriert“ (uncalibrated). „Unkalibriert“ may stay that way for good — the label is still burnt in, simply not computed.
„Kennzeichnungspflicht“ · marking obligation
A workspace's rule that outputs must carry a visible label. Not to be confused with the defaults, although both live on the same page.
„Label-Familie“ und „Variante“ · label family and variant
A family is the mark — the wordmark, an EU marking, or one of your own. A variant is one rendition of it for a background.
A family with no variant does not appear in the editor.
Manifest
The record of Content Credentials inside a file. Downloadable as JSON.
„Prüfprotokoll“ · audit trail
The record of what happened in the workspace. The seal „Ohne Nachweis“ means something else, namely: no manifest inside the file.
„Siegel“ und Badge · seal and badge
Two wordings for the same state, in different places:
| Badge (result card, asset header) | Seal (library tile) |
|---|---|
| „Content Credentials geprüft“ | „Verifiziert“ |
| „Signiert · Aussteller unbekannt“ | „Nicht vertrauenswürdig“ |
| „Ohne Content Credentials“ | „Ohne Nachweis“ |
„Trust-Liste“ · trust list
The list of issuers whose signatures count as trusted. It ships with the product and comes from the public C2PA set.
„Zelle“ · cell
In a batch: one planned output — the combination of one asset and one format.
„Zeitstempel“ · timestamp
Attests when signing happened, keeping a signature valid where its certificate expires later.
