This part of ISO/IEC 23000, also known as "photo player MAF", specifies a file format for digital photo library applications. It establishes a standardized solution for the carriage of images and associated metadata, to facilitate simple and fully interoperable exchange across different devices and platforms. The set of metadata includes MPEG-7 visual content descriptions, as well as acquisition-based metadata (such as date, time and camera settings). This allows compliant devices to support new, content-enhanced functionality, such as intelligent browsing, content-based search or automatic categorization.
