9:30 - 12 Noon (with a break)
Group divides into 3 groups for concurrent breakout sessions to discuss
and define technical metadata for:

1. Characteristics and Features of Images (Steve Puglia session leader):
Features or aspects of images typically recorded in headers or filename
extensions, such as MIME type, spatial and tonal resolution, color space,
references to color management information, orientation, compression,
dimensions, special viewer or printer requirements.

2.  Image Production and Reformatting Features (Stephen Chapman session
leader):
Features describing the provenance of the image, particularly features of
the imaging system that generated it, including information about the
agent authorizing the production of the image, the make and model of the
equipment used, targets or reference to targets used, the calibration of
the system, and measures of its capacities in terms of resolution,
density, and means of color encoding.

3. Image identification and integrity (John Weise session leader):
Name, maker/manager identification, dates made or modified, checksum or
other file integrity device, external references, e.g., to intellectual
metadata.

The groups will be tasked to define the range of metadata that could be
collected for these areas and to come to a group consensus on a subset of
mandatory metadata elements.  Each Group will also examine issues such as
which elements belong in a header and which ones might reside in an
associated metadata file, the best possible syntax for such a file, and
authoritative vocabularies that might be used as values of metadata
elements.

12Noon - 1:00pm  Lunch

1:00pm - 2:30pm  Group Reconvenes and each group reports on their
conclusions

2:30pm - 3:30pm General group discussion to generate recommendations for

include:  Rights management issues, authenticity and security issues,
structural metadata needed for describing entities that are part of a
