Sharing and Browsing Photo Collections Through RDF Geo-Metadata 2007-01-07 01:00:31 Hewlett-Packard

In past years the growth of popularity of digital photography, together with the development of services and technologies to annotate and organize data on the Web, have extended the possibilities for managing and sharing large numbers of pictures. This paper explores the kinds of metadata that can be captured at the time a photo is taken, and ways to share these metadata in order to build a browsing experience of distributed photo collections based on their spatial information and relations. The paper presents a prototype system in which an RDF description of pictures, location and compass heading information is used so that users' photo collections are enhanced by relations with other user's pictures.
