Controlled IPTC Vocabulary

Apparently there is a movement in the IPTC community to standardize keywords and some other metadata.
Go
here to read more about it.
Very interesting and I think applicable to future directions XnView might take in support of IPTC.

Jeez. This is exactly why I am not the Librarian...
So sorry. Perhaps this thread could be deleted?

Hey, I wasn't complaining! I'm glad you bring this issue back onto the table, John.

I've contacted the author of
http://controlledvocabulary.com, do you think that you'll purchase the license if i add it...

I probably would not purchase a license. My personal interest isn't in the specific vocabulary itself but rather in the best methods for storing keywords in images, more in line with my post
here.

Ok, so a hierarchical keyword right?

Pierre,
if you have access to Adobe Bridge CS3, version 2.1.1.9 ,
you can see that Abode also switched to
hierarchical keyword .
It works very well and intuitive.
In earlier versions of Bridge CS3
they used a linear keyword approach
which gets cluttered very quickly.

Oh...
I love that! 
(Yes, I know XnTriq... you already listed it... )
My idea at that time was to synchronize something like the categories (cf. "internal DB") with images' metadata (ie: standard and decentralized).
I believe XMP is the way to go, with a standardized way to implement hierarchical categories.

I totally agree,
and XMP is what Vista and Adobe use for their metadata.
In Adobe Bridge you have standard catagories of items, placed
in a hierarchic way, but you can ofcourse edit or add your own ones.
E.g.
I use the catagory "places" ,
with hierarchy countries/cities/streets .
Works prfect for me, Bridge also reads XMP data from Vista OS
into its catagories.
