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:

  1. The anchor position — one of nine cells in a 3×3 grid where the label sits.
  2. The anchor text — the largest mandatory text, whose legibility determines the label size.
  3. 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:

LevelMeans
„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.
