+Broadcast WAV Extension Metadata
+================================
+
+
+Notes
+-----
+A WAV file produced to Broadcast-WAV specifications will have the broadcast metadata extension,
+which includes a 256-character free text descrption, creating entity identifier (usually the 
+recording application or equipment), the date and time of recording and a time reference for 
+timecode synchronization.
+
+The :py:attr:`coding_history<wavinfo.wave_bext_reader.WavBextReader.coding_history>` 
+is designed to contain a record of every conversion performed on the audio file.
+
+In this example (from a Sound Devices 702T) the bext metadata contains scene/take slating
+information in the :py:attr:`description<wavinfo.wave_bext_reader.WavBextReader.description>`. 
+Here also the :py:attr:`originator_ref<wavinfo.wave_bext_reader.WavBextReader.originator_ref>` 
+is a serial number conforming to EBU Rec 99.
+
+If the bext metadata conforms to `EBU 3285 v1`_, it will contain the WAV's 32 or 64 byte `SMPTE 
+ST 330 UMID`_. The 32-byte version of the UMID is usually just a random number, while the 64-byte 
+UMID will also have information on the recording date and time, recording equipment and entity, 
+and geolocation data.
+
+If the bext metadata conforms to `EBU 3285 v2`_, it will hold precomputed program loudness values
+as described by `EBU Rec 128`_.

+Notes
+-----
+
+Dolby software and equipment creates detailed hinting metadata that can help
+receiving applications decide how to present the audio content, particularly

+INFO Metadata
+=============
+
+Notes
+-----
+
+INFO Metadata is a standard method for saving tagged text data in a WAV or AVI
+file. INFO fields are often read by the file explorer and host OS, and used in 
+music library software.

+iXML Production Recorder Metadata
+=================================
+
+Notes
+-----
+iXML allows an XML document to be embedded in a WAV file.
+
+The iXML website recommends a schema for recorder information but 
+there is no official DTD and vendors mostly do their own thing, apart from 
+hitting a few key xpaths. iXML is used by most location/production recorders 
+to save slating information, timecode and sync points in a reliable way.
+
+iXML is also used to link "families" of WAV files together, so WAV files
+recorded simultaneously or contiguously can be related by a receiving client.
+
+..  code:: python
+
+    print("iXML Project:", info.ixml.project)
+    print("iXML Scene:", info.ixml.scene)
+    print("iXML Take:", info.ixml.take)
