I haven't read the latest issue of IEEE's Computing Now, but it looks like it has a few good articles that might be of interest:
Multimedia Metadata and Semantic ManagementGuest Editors' Introduction, IEEE Computing NowHarald Kosch and Christian Timmerer, December 2009
"Effective multimedia management must span the metadata life cycle—from its creation through processing, storage, distribution, and deployment—and work whether the metadata is tightly connected with or independent of the media it describes.Finally, we need better integration of situational context. This includes not only domain knowledge, but also legal and cultural issues, metadata and semantic quality, compression and encryption techniques."
