The app (file: “MetaApp_SFB1280.jar/.exe” ) can then be moved successively into the subfolders subject, session or modality.

**Beyond creating metadata: Creating a metadata database and search**
The [SFB 1280 DatabaseCreator](https://gitlab.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/sfb1280/DatabaseCreate) searches a storage or file system for SFB metadata and writes the results to an SQLLite database. The [SFB 1280 DatabaseApp](https://gitlab.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/sfb1280/databaseapp_2.0) is an additionally developed Java application that makes the database searchable and the search results easily retrievable.
