I am a Ph.D. biologist and educator with an interest in collecting standardized plant images. See: Baskauf, S.J. and B.K. Kirchoff (2008) Digital plant images as specimens: toward standards for photographing living plants. Vulpina 7:16-30 http://www.cals.ncsu.edu/plantbiology/ncsc/vulpia/pdf/Baskauf_&_Kirchoff_Digital_Plant_Images.pdf I am currently working with SERNEC (the Southeast Regional Network of Expertise and Collections) to facilitate discussion on setting up their collaborative live plant image collection. See: http://www.sernec.org/?q=blog/41 for a history of this effort.

I have been following your metadata elements discussion for a couple weeks and may have comments.
