Abstract

The authors will provide a background and state of the research on the subject of embedding metadata for the long-term maintenance of and access to digital image files, describe its uses and limitations, and outline recent attempts to standardize embedded metadata schemas and formats in commercial and academic contexts. They will then conclude by describing the challenges currently facing information professionals looking to use embedded metadata effectively, and look forward to what the future of embedded image metadata might hold as registries are released and semantic web applications are further developed.
