This search engine uses wordnet to find synonyms of search terms, and hypernyms of marked-up keywords. So a search for skyscraper finds one picture and a search for structure finds the skyscraper and a load of other pictures too.

A mail sent to www-rdf-interest after attempting to embed XMP metadata in JPEGs.
(It turns out my code doesn’t do the jpeg embedding quite right. It looks like the JPEG-XMP package will do it correctly.)
