A collection-oriented metadata framework for digital images

Abstract

A digital photo can "tell a thousand words" through the use of its metadata and as it is usually part of a collection, metadata management, reuse, propagation & inference could be achieved via its association with a collection. However, there is not much work on metadata management, reuse, propagation & inference, particularly on a group basis. In this paper, we proposed a collection-oriented metadata framework which provides a basis for metadata management, reuse, propagation & inference and demonstrated the utility of such a framework. © 2006 IEEE.
