A long-running goal of mine is to write a image gallery for my web page, so the screenshot and photo galleries can have categories, titles, dates, etc. Being a fan of metadata, XML, Dublin Core etc, I’ve planned to do this by embedding the metadata into the image files instead of relying on a database.
