Keywords and Controlled Vocabulary | Forum profile

Perhaps someone has had similar issues...: I am working with an "English language" stock agency and I will also be working with a "French language" agency.

What is the best way to manage multi-language keywording?...

I'm quite familiar with the distinctions between the Title, Headline, and Caption fields (I recently published an article on this , partly as a resource for my students).  What I'm interested in here is how other people (this means you) are using the Title field.  I've been using it for many years now, and would like to compare my technique with yours.  It's not something that gets ...

Wrong forum? I assume you want to communicate with David Riecks at controlledvocabulary.com. John

I just got about a thousand slides scanned by Scan Cafe and this data migration got me thinking. In the days of slides I had a database to organize my slides and I had a field that included the geographic distribution or the range of a particular animal (I have gotten a couple of editorial sales by knowing this info). Would the location field be the appropriate one for this? For ...

Hi everyone, A colleague of mine recently informed me of a new keywording software by Cradoc Bagshaw, the maker of fotobiz and fotoquote.  It is called  FotoKeyword Harvester .  It looks like it could greatly speed up keywording for stock image submissions.  Anybody here used it, or have an opinion? Cheers, Josh
