You can find a good deal of info on their site (http://www.iptc.org/). I have a short history of the IPTC metadata standard (and yes it is a standard) on my website at (http://www.controlledvocabulary.com/imagedatabases/iptc_naa.html). Last year, I was invited to speak at the First International Photo Metadata Conference in Florence, about the use of photo metadata in the Stock Photography community. If you are interested you can see that presentation as well as those of all of the speakers, by visiting (http://www.phmdc.org/). I volunteer for the Stock Artists Alliance, a trade organization for stock photographers, for which I co-authored a paper that received a wee bit of attention in 2006 called the Metadata Manifesto. You can see that and our blog at (http://metadatamanifesto.blogspot.com/). This same trade organization received an award from the US Library of Congress and will be using those monies for conducting a number of surveys to determine the use of various embedded image metadata standards in the upcoming months. News of that will be posted to the MM blog mentioned above. In addition, a website will be created showing how to embed IPTC and XMP within image files using a number of popular applications. Beyond IPTC, there is XMP, and Dublin Core, which have a number of overlapping or shared fields between them. A google search on IPTC Standards, XMP metadata, or Dublin Core will give you lots of reading material. Hope that helps in your quest. David Riecks Udim:
