It develops and maintains technical standards for improved news exchange that are used by virtually every major news organization in the world." http://www.iptc.org/photometadata/ Thanks, Patrick, I had not heard of IPTC:

So, we invite comments to get better localisations, better identifications, check and verify information, etc. A main difference between the two projects is the following: we are using IPTC metadata that are embedded in our hi-res photos, but LoC does not use IPTC and their descriptions and tags are attached to Flickr platform. With best regards -- Patrick Peccatte Hi,
