The titles below are linked to a page containing additional information, with links to view or download the documents.
The following categories are used to describe the status of each document in the process: Draft for public comment (with a closing date), Draft under review (by Still Image Working Group), Approved (all changes have been made).

- TIFF Image Metadata - Approved
The following 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.
- Digital Imaging Framework - Approved
This draft document is intended to serve as a coherent framework to describe and validate imaging performance and quality, and is based on existing international standards to the extent possible. The document is in two parts – with Part I providing a taxonomic structure and Part II providing operational metrics and criteria for evaluating digital image characteristics.
