Alison Sullivan, Individual Member Using the IPTC Metadata schemas is a win-win for anyone working in a large enterprise environment that needs to share images or a video library for advertising.

Michael Steidl, Honorary Member IPTC photo metadata provides descriptions plus rights and administrative information of an image in ways that can’t be said by just pixels.
