Design and implementation of agriculture research digital photo manager

Software tools for photo collection management are proliferating, but they are generally developed for personnel photo management and have limited searching and browsing functions. We implemented the Agriculture Research Digital Photo Manager (ARDPM) prototype to enable researchers, extension personnel and other users to efficiently manage, search and browse their research photo archives. Research Digital Photo Manager provides a set of visual Boolean query interfaces for multiple ways of organizing and viewing the same photo collection. It gives users powerful search capabilities. Using thumbnail display and an easy interface, ARDPM is designed to provide users powerful searching and browsing photo capabilities.
