Document Background
The draft guideline on TIFF Image Metadata submitted by the Still Image Working group represents a minimal set of recommended embedded metadata for historical and cultural heritage digital imaging. This is presented as an interim guideline. A new recommended guideline encompassing a richer metadata set in a more flexible format, with wider file format support, is expected to be developed by the Embedded Metadata Sub-group and posted at a future date.
