Keywords, Keywords, and More Keywords

Thursday, August 2nd, 2007

Over at Inside Aperture Micah Walter (editor of this website) has posted about David Riecks’s Controlled Vocabulary Keyword Catalog (or CVKC). The CVKC is a list of over 11,000 organized keywords for Aperture.

If you have ever worked with a stock agency you will know how important keywording can be. Many agencies use their own controlled vocabulary, so it will be interesting to see how David’s list matches up with places like iStockPhoto who ask their photographers to go through a process called disambiguation for each photo they submit.

For more information on David’s keyword list, check out his website at controlledvocabulary.com
