Embedded in the SVG images' XML source as RDF.

Use the browse thingy here:
http://openclipart.org/cgi-bin/navigate

That isn't actually based on the metadata yet, because we didn't have
the keyword stuff in place until very recently, so the images were
sorted into directories manually.  In fact, most of the images still
don't have their keywords yet.  We have a script for adding them,
though, and we'll hopefully be doing that soon, and then we can work
out a procedure for building the browse heirarchy automatically from
the metadata instead of the manual sorting used so far.
