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:

Take a look!

    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?
