do you have any thoughts on what this metadata format will look like ?

have you seen the work done by CIMI ? (http://www.cimi.org/wg/metadata/)
- essentially they are encoding Dublin Core for this purpose ...

the only other alternative i have encountered is VRA's Core Categories -
something that we use locally at VT for a large image library project in
the library ... however, as far as i know there is no XML
representation/schema yet ... if you want to go this route, i may be
interested in helping to develop an XML representation/schema
