Disc
The Digital Image Submission Criteria (DISC) Metadata for Digital Image Submission Specification defines standard metadata fields to be attached to digital images for submission to magazines for publication. DISC recommends the use of certain existing standards, such as XML, RDF, Dublin Core, and PRISM as mechanisms to encode these metadata fields. This Working Group will develop a set of specifications for use by Creative Professionals to include photographers and illustrators as a standard format prior to submission for publication. These specifications will allow for maximum reproduction print quality while expediting the production workflow. The digital specifications for image submission will address relevant key issues including size, resolutions, compression, color space and metadata. View the DISC Metadate fields.
