Morning Ed,
Try 'Creating and Using Digital Resources for the Visual Arts: Standards and
Good Practice' which has a section on standards for data documentation and
is online at: http://vads.ahds.ac.uk/guides/creating_guide/contents.html

Subject: [FISH] Image retrieval metadata
Morning folks,
A question. Can anyone direct me to a metadata standard focused on the needs
of digital image retrieval / discovery (as opposed to technical storage
management metadata? I am aware of the TASI paper
http://www.tasi.ac.uk/advice/delivering/metadata.html#mt3
but an initial look suggests this is more a discussion of the issues than a
recommendation. Or is that as far as it is possible to go at the moment?
Also I have come across reference to metadata being embedded in the image
file itself, but am not sure of the details, formats, possibilities.
All comments welcome,
