Trial Use [.pdf]
http://www.niso.org/standards/dsftu.html
The National Information Standards Organization (NISO) in collaboration
with the Association for Information and Image Management (AIIM) has
recently released this data dictionary for trial use for the period June
1, 2002, through December 31, 2003. Thus, the Internet community can
freely access, review, and implement the dictionary standards during the
18-month trial use period. This data dictionary presents a
"comprehensive list of technical data elements relevant to the
management of digital still images," and has been designed to
"facilitate interoperability between systems, services, and software as
well as to support the long-term management of and continuing access to
digital image collections." Freely downloadable from the NISO Web site,
this product is primarily for institutions and organizations engaged in
digitizing visual materials from historical collections.
