Metadata group standard
The Metadata Working Group on Wednesday announced the introduction of its first standard for the preservation of metadata, or ‘data about data’ in digital photographs at the Photokina 2008 show. The specification is meant to make organizing, sharing and searching for digital photos quicker and easier, as well as make working with digital photos compatible across all applications, devices and services. Current metadata standards typically overlap and do not provide interoperability options.
