Abstract
Description
This document defines the minimum proposed descriptive embedded metadata for digital images at the Smithsonian Institution. It also provides basic guidelines for the
use of embedded metadata in imaging workflows across the Institution. It represents a consensus of practitioners across various units about how to better manage the data that is populated into our digital images. Its intention is not to dictate practice, but rather to educate and provide guidance for those working with digital image collections.
