ViewMinder is a computer application for managing content, rights and usage of digital images using structured metadata. The program was first published in August 2003. The freeware version, ViewMinder Express, had the same features but could organize no more than 250 pictures. Version 4.01 supported Windows XP and Windows 2000. In October 2007 its publisher, ViewMinder Limited of Cambridge, England announced that consumer versions of the program had been discontinued. == Organizer == ViewMinder manages images by using structured metadata stored in an embedded relational database. This is claimed to produce more accurate search results than traditional image organizers that find image content according to a list of keywords. It uses a subset of the metadata proposed by the DIG35 Initiatives Group (). Although this group was formed by the I3A () association, representing major international imaging companies, ViewMinder seems to be the only implementation of the DIG35 specification. XML was the recommended implementation structure for DIG35 () but ViewMinder instead uses SQLite (), an ACID-compliant relational database management system. A picture's content can be described using any number of elements – people, places, events and "others". In addition to describing what is shown, an element can have an "unseen" field, where things related to the image but not appearing in it can be mentioned without creating misleading search results. ViewMinder also tracks image authors (photographers or designers) and can monitor image rights and usage. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ViewMinder」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
