The Controlled Vocabulary group is for people who wish to engage in discussions related to the use of Controlled Vocabularies, Hierarchies, Thesauri, and Classification schemes used in databases, with a specific interest in image databases. Other topics of interest, such as the use of IPTC meta data, Dublin Core, XML, and Adobe Photoshop's XMP data format are fair game as well.

Note: We had to move the Controlled Vocabulary Discussion Forums from it's old location on Yahoogroups in November of 2019. The archive is still there if you were a member from 2003 to 2019 and still have your log-in credentials. The entire message archive was transferred to the new location so all that information is still searchable.
