Keywording Keywording is the process of assigning descriptive keywords or tags to digital images to facilitate organization, search, and retrieval of images in digital asset management systems, image libraries, and online galleries. Keywords are descriptive terms or phrases that describe the content, subject matter, location, or concepts depicted in an image. They help photographers and image users quickly find and identify relevant images based on specific criteria or search queries.
Keywording is a crucial aspect of digital asset management and metadata management workflows, allowing photographers to efficiently organize and categorize large collections of images for easy access and retrieval. Effective keywording involves selecting relevant and specific keywords that accurately describe the content and context of each image, using standardized vocabularies and controlled vocabularies whenever possible to ensure consistency and improve searchability across image databases and platforms. |
