Excerpt:

The first Photo Metadata Conference of 2007 in Florence, Italy, was an event of excellent discussions about photo metadata issues at a very high level. But one major issue was left open: Who will follow up all
the great ideas brought up at the conference? The IPTC took action and committed itself to the Photo Metadata Roadmap with five major items:

  1. 1. Make specifications from metadata recommendations
  2. 2. Start resolving open issues of the IPTC Photo Metadata White Paper
  3. 3. Continue talking to camera makers and CIPA
  4. 4. Consider creating photo workflow standards
  5. 5. Collaboration with other parties
