Hi Mark
you might like to look at the Technical Advisory Service for Images
(TASI) webpages on Building Image Databases at
http://www.tasi.ac.uk/building/building1.html
This is an excellent resource and has a section on Metadata - image description,
indexing and cataloguing which opens out on to other resources and
standards.
