Helping to develop read / write metadata standards for digital files (e.g., photos) to keep your family memories alive. We seek to enhance the value of digital media about people by refining the process and capability for embedding metadata. Initial focus is on standards covering Albums, Captions, Dates, Events, Locations, People and Objects. By having consistent standards, Family Historians will enjoy the consistent capturing, sharing, interoperability and preservation of family history through metadata. This will lead to effective planning, standardization and frequent communications to archives, libraries, history organizations, standards bodies, commercial vendors and websites in order to establish, adopt, and promote this metadata.
