Principles

Descriptive metadata should be embedded in the image file itself.

There are distinct advantages for embedding descriptive metadata directly in digital image files.

There are also disadvantages which must be accounted for.

 

Embedded metadata should be usable at all levels.

It should take full advantage of XMP's interoperability and not focus on satisfying just one audience.

Intentions

Reconcile commercial photo and cultural heritage descriptive metadata standards.

Create a crosswalk between CDWA Lite, VRA Core, ARTstor Core, Exif, IPTC IIM, and XMP.

 

Create open source tools for converting and embedding cultural heritage metadata using XMP.

Create an application that will embed VRA Core 4 metadata.

Just a note to let all of you know that you can change the frequency of these wiki emails. The default setting will send you an update every hour. Because it notifies you of EVERY change, this may be too much. By clicking on "account" in the top right corner you will open "My PBworks", then click the "Home" tab and go down to "Preferences". You can turn of email notices altogether and just subscribe to the page(s) you want to keep up on, like "News". Full instructions: http://usermanual.pbworks.com/Notifications

If you are having trouble, feel free to write me directly at greser@ucsd.edu. -- Greg
