<a href="http://rdfweb.org/topic/CoDepiction">FOAF
co-depiction</a> "Co-depiction is simply the state of
being depicted in the same picture as someone else. We're
cataloguing this using FOAF RDF documents, sharing and
collecting these in the Web, as a way of documenting in a
visual way some connections between people."
</li>
<li>
<a href="http://w3photo.org/">w3photo</a> "envisions a
royalty-free archive of conference pictures from WWW1 to
Today -- searchable by the Semantic Web and ready for your
tools". It uses various vocabulary, including Dublin Core,
FOAF, CYC, Creative Commons, FotoNotes etc.

<a href="http://www.confoto.org/">CONFOTO</a> "is an
experimental sharing and annotation service for conference
photos. It utilizes common RDF vocabularies (dc, foaf,
rev, cc, ical, w3photo) to combine simple tagging with
rich annotations (e.g. depicted persons, related events,
ratings). RDF data is accessible via SPARQL, URIQA, or a
link at the bottom of each page."
</li>
<li>
<a href="http://fotonotes.net/">FotoNotes</a> "The goal of
the Fotonotes specification is to make it significantly
easier for individuals and groups to share meaningful
information about (a) what is visually depicted within the
photograph and (b) what is contextually (and/or
personally) significant about what is (or is not) visually
represented."
