Okay, Aside from the most laughable name in WinCE (I mean, DIDL? Diddle? Who thought that was a good idea?), this work completely ignores the significantly more robust Open eBook package structure, available here: http://www.openebook.org/OEB1.html#_Toc462070426 Take a look! --->Ben Trafford

  Ok, How about these specs:

  
  IMS Learning Resource Meta-data Specification
  http://www.imsglobal.org/metadata/

  
  IMS Content Packaging Specification
  http://www.imsglobal.org/content/packaging/

  
  They're designed for e-learning content, but multimedia is involved here, too.

  
  Here's one for pictures:

  
  DIG35 Specification on Metadata for Digital Images

  
  http://www.digitalimaging.org/i_dig35.html

  
  DIDL, OEB, IMS, DIG35... how about one based on RDF?

  
  MusicBrainz Metadata Initiative
  http://musicbrainz.org/MM/

  
  (This one is also in reply to the message about ID3v2.)

  
  Any more out there?
