Filter reports

Hi team,

from Paul's post I found two good reports that are highly relevant to
SIMILE:

Metadata for images: a report for the filter project
Michael Day, Manjuela Patel
"This document provides a state-of-the-art report on image metadata for the
FILTER (Focusing Images for Learning and Teaching - an Enriched Resource).
After a brief introduction to image retrieval and use, the report describes
the main categories of metadata that images require. There follows some
short descriptions of particular metadata initiatives. These include: the
Dublin Core Metadata Initiative, the AMICO Data Dictionary, the SCRAN data
standard, SPECTRUM, METS, the NISO draft Technical metadata for digital
still images, the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata and
ISO 19115. The following section describes some of the most prominent
educational metadata initiatives, including the IEEE Draft Standard for
Learning Object Metadata, the IMS Meta-data Specification and the proposal
of the DCMI Education Working Group. A final section looks at some subject
schemes that have specifically been designed for image data, mostly for art
and architecture (e.g., AAT, and ICONCLASS) and for image collections in
libraries (e.g., TGM I)."
