Abstract
Various recording apparatuses and methods, each capable of repeatedly attaching the same meta-data as information related to binary data to a plurality of binary data to generate a plurality of binary data having meta-data. A first recording apparatus generates binary data by image sensing and also generate meta-data as information related to the binary data. This apparatus can repeatedly attach the same meta-data generated to the generated binary data to easily generate a plurality of binary data having meta-data. A second recording apparatus loads and uses binary data instead of generating it and can generate meta-data and repeatedly attach the same meta-data to a plurality of loaded binary data to easily generate binary data having meta-data. A third recording apparatus can generate the meta-data using a dedicated meta-data generation apparatus, store the meta-data in a storage medium, and load and use the meta-data from the storage medium, and also generate binary data and repeatedly attach the same meta-data loaded to generated binary data to easily generate a plurality of binary data having meta-data.
