RDF in thumbnails e.g. Verdon, Moustiers, France

RDF in thumbnails e.g. Verdon, Moustiers, France

Describing and retrieving photos using RDF and HTTP

I do like the idea of being able to pull thumbnails up like this, that would be so cool.

Been talking in Radio's list re a photo tool for Radio with gheil. And my major concern was the descriptions or as they've described so minimally here: content schema. Nevertheless, I get the drift. I think that abouts wraps up the final jigsaw, pun intended.

I don't think there's a need to embed it in the actual pic is there? I've got my contextual information about my kids' pictures, which is the only thing I care about categorising. Though trivial to write it in, I don't like the idea of having it in two places, the blog item, and the pic... Hmm, has to be in there too <slaps head> The blog item sits in the description, Dublin Core, and all that old chap.

Here's a window in BBedit, with the nice colours, and the original
gheil also said: "PhotoMechanic http://www.camerabits.com/ is a good tool in the $ bracket. It manages database stuff (and hands editing over to PS), but has some annoying miscues in its DB i have not worked around yet: can't get the date to flow through, on either xml output or text output :-( "

Photomecanic looks pretty damn good actually. $150 OS X, Classic, and Win. Writes some stuff in to the correct parts of a JPEG, but seems to be based on a competing standard at least something else, more about news: "Digital Newsphoto Parameter Record (DNPR) version 4 -- This is the lower level file format for encapsulating digital news photographic data. It allows for editorial and technical information to be carried in the same file." Well, I suppose, my kids are news to me, and the family that read that category. Interesting to know this stuff. Maybe it's slipped me by.

FOAF

I got well into a tool to build FOAF files in Radio, the other day, love to finish that off. Here's my very first. I'm Johnny no friends at the bar, eek!
