Introduction
This page is part of the JISC Digital Repository Wiki. It is used to support the activities of a UK (JISC) working group which is developing an Application Profile for describing images held in institutional repositories. This work is being undertaken within the JISC Digital Repositories programme and coordinated by Polly Christie and Mick Eadie (Visual Arts Data Service, University College for the Creative Arts). The Images Application Profile project is running from September 2007 - April 2008.

Background
Following on from the project to develop an application profile for scholarly works (SWAP], the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) has recently funded through its Repositories and Preservation Programme, a series of projects to establish Application Profiles in the areas of images, time-based media, geospatial data and learning objects.
The work on the Images Application Profile (IAP) has been carried out for the six-month period from September 2007 to March 2008, and while the substantive project work is now complete and a draft Images Application Profile is in circulation, the ongoing job of promoting the profile to, and consulting with, the image, repository and metadata communities continues. To this end, JISC has funded a one-year post, based with the Technical Advisory Service for Images (TASI), to promote the IAP and work towards community acceptance.
The first task of the IAP project was to bring together a working group with representatives from a range of backgrounds comprising image experts, repository developers and information specialists [3]. The group met for a day in late October 2007. It has commented subsequently on various iterations of the project as it has advanced through an email discussion list and some further occasional one-to-one meetings and exchanges. As part of the community acceptance phase of the project, beginning in October 2008, it is our intention to open the discussion on the IAP to a wider Consultation Group. The core deliverables of the IAP project were: a set of functional requirements based on a set of defined user needs; a conceptual model; an Images Application Profile; and a set of easy-to-follow user guidelines.
