Abstract:

With the advent of digital cameras, photographs are now stored on fixed and removable digital storage media (possibly kept in shoe boxes again!). But again, the solutions we see coming from the industry today mostly emphasize photo capture and storage, but offer little in terms of building photo libraries. Today’s digital cameras will record the time, date and exposure data; they might even permit a short audio comment to be recorded. However there is little if any software that will adequately utilize this data to catalog and search for images.
