This every container has their specific unique rules to encode (store) and decode (extract) Meta data. As well as these each Meta container is storing specific Meta information. Exif Meta containers are mostly storing location information and GPS (Global Positioning System) records. As well as, Adobe XMP is responsible to store Dublin core Meta data which provides standard Meta tags that can be used to describe digital objects basically and IPTC is storing Meta information about application records.

How to generate direct line token to start a new conversation between your own client application and bot framework in Java

You can enable the communication between your bot framework and your client application using Direct Line API. When you add your client application as a site to communicate with your bot framework through azure portal, bot framework will generate secret keys. Your client application can use these generated secret keys to authenticate direct line requests issued to your bot framework. Let me explain how we can generate token to start a  conversations between your own client and bot framework. When we send a request to direct line for generating token,  if the request is successful it will send the conversation id and token that is valid to that conversation id. If client application already has a earlier used conversation Id, you can pass that id as an input to this method for generating token. If there is no conversation id, you can pass null value.  Return type of this method is a Map to retrieve generated token and conversation Id which is valid for that to...
