Kudos to Dan for his presentation this past Thursday about reusable learning objects. We use metadata all the time in libraries in order to organize information into manageable sense. What I thought was most interesting about Dan's presentation was the mention of tagging and organization. While I was browsing my bloglines account, I noticed that there is a new study going on at Penn State that is exploring the tagging of images. But it's not just the tagging of images by the user, but it's the automatic tagging of images done by the system itself! HELLO! Talk about your timesaver! In my KodakGallery.com account, I spend at least 30 minutes on top of the download time (at least 30 minutes) to add tags to my pictures for quick finding later. Imagine a system that does it for you...

I'm interested in finding out how this type of system works. How can it recognize that a photo has a background that is made of up trees and other natural elements, such as water?
