[Openicc] GoSoC 2011: CPD and Color Management

[Ann McCarthy]

Jan-Peter,

Certainly I would like to see the project proceed - with the result being a
definition of a new defined usage of the ICC metadataTag.

I would strongly encourage you to format the saved information into the
existing ICC metadataTag. The spec is at
http://www.color.org/ICCSpecRevision_25-02-10_dictType.pdf

It took a number of years to reach agreement on the metadataTag
structure and it is intended for exactly this purpose.

The process for defining new uses of the ICC metadataTag is straightforward
and the ICC is hosting a web repository to share the definition information
after it is submitted by an industry group.

Best regards,
Ann L McCarthy
