Hey Pierre,

A standard for tagging JPEGs with metadata for outreach purposes is in the 
works, driven by a US-European collaboration.  It's current form is in the 
IVOA is a Note, "Astronomical Outreach Imagery Metadata Tags for the 
Virtual Observatory" (http://www.ivoa.net/Documents/latest/AOIMetadata.html).
The contact people in Europe are Lars Lindberg Christensen and Markus 
Dolensky, and in the US, Robert Hurt.  They are in the process of revising 
the document and getting ready for a comment process for both the outreach 
community and the IVOA.

cheers,
Ray
