Embedded Metadata Manifesto (2011)

How metadata should be embedded and preserved in digital media files
The Manifesto was issued by the IPTC Photo Metadata Working Group in May

curators all share the same problem: struggling to track rapidly expanding
collections of digital media assets such as photos and video/film clips.
