Dear Mr Jha, You may find Picasa Photo Organisor at www.picasa.com useful for indexing and searching image/photo collections. It is free. Google uses it for indexing images. If you download and use it I would extensively, Iwould like to benefit by your feedback. I used it some months ago. It searches and indexes all images in all local drives/folders that are specified. As my collection is not picture specific I did not use it much.

A new version of Dublin Core Services
by Saiful Amin 16 Nov '04

16 Nov '04

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ernesto Giralt <egh_cu(a)yahoo.es> Date: Sun, 14 Nov 2004 09:57:57 -0800 (PST) Subject: [XML4LIB] A new version of Dublin Core Services. To: Multiple recipients of list <xml4lib(a)sunsite3.berkeley.edu> Hi all, and sorry for the crossposting. A new version - 0.2(beta)- of Dublin Core Services/Describethis (http://www.describethis.com) has been published. This new version, as main feature, brings us an automatic generator of keywords: DCS incorporates now a dictionary of 5300 words in 11 different languages, included Catalan, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Italian, among others, that permits to recognize and generate keywords automatically. The system applies analitic algorithms to find the best terms that better describe a given resource. The new terms generated are added to the ones already included in the document, although these are marked visually to avoid confusions with the terms proposed by the own authors. In the case of the HTML documents that do not have included these type of metadata, the list of generated keywords can be used as a guide and a valid proposal for the publishers and authors of these contents. The current version delivers some corrected and improved features. Among these, can be emphasized the following ones: - The new list of metadata types and variants found in the documents HTML now includes more than 70 elements in 3 different languages - The service has incorporated a new parser to recognize and extract the metadata for the Creative Commons licenses (see http://creativecommons.org) - The RDF converter and generator has been improved to produce a valid and more complete document. - Now DCS has applied Web Standards to all the documents generated (XML, XHTML and RDF) to include the elements that indicate the type of document (DOCTYPE) and language marks. - The HTML documents parser now is capable of recognizing metadata placed in other tags than traditional tags like META, concretely the LINK tag and the comments embedded in the body of the text. In addition, due to the successful application in the blogs network, our development team has dedicated special attention to the metadata and particular characteristics of this "type" of online content. With these changes and improvements the already existing references to DescribeThis and the future ones will have a metadata extraction results more extensive and detailed. For the following version, DescribeThis will include: - An editor for Dublin Core registers and collections. - A multilingual and improved interface for DescribeThis - at present are almost ready the first versions in Spanish and Catalan - - Selected dictionaries and thesauri to be applied to improve the automatically generated/extracted results - Features for user subscription and register, so that results can be closest to the needs and personal profile of each one. We wish to thank to the specialists and users in general that have sent us valuable messages with recommendations, critics and advice. In special to Daniel O'Connor, Paula A Markes and Eva Méndez, to whom we must thank for many of the changes and improvements. Again, thanks to all. We will continue working to improve our services and products. ---------------------------------------------- Dublin Core Services is a set of web services that offers tools for the description and automated analysis of online resources. Through the interface that provides DescribeThis (http://www.describethis.com) it allows the management and individual processing of the metadata collections that have been extracted or generated from the resources. The site offers an easy-to-use interface to indicate the resource to analyze and simple options to download the results like XML, XHTML or RDF files.
