IPTC Photo Metadata 2008

Since 1994, the International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC) have published a standard for the metadata to be used in photos. They’ve just released a public review document – IPTC Photo Metadata 2008 – for the draft specification of IPTC Core version 1.1.
 
If, like me, you have an interest in using metadata to keep track of your photos, then the IPTC metadata standard is a cross-industry effort that is worth adopting. The authors are inviting comments on the review document to be sent to them at the IPTC Photo Metadata group at Yahoo.
