Image metadata structure #16

Need a plan for where to put metadate on/in images - family, genus, species. Narrative to expand on spatial information, soil characteristics, elevation, surroundings, shade/sun etc.

The 'metadata' would go in a collection that would be linked to an image, for example:

A collection of images: URN, dateTaken, license

A collection of site area info: URN, spatial information, soil characteristics, elevation, surroundings, shade/sun etc.

A specimen collection: URN, taxonomicID, imageURN (represented by), siteAreaURN, etc.

Essentially, to add information to an image, you have to attach it to another collection where that image is referenced. I can show you in more detail another time if you would like

Sorry, didn't mean to close this, the Site Area portion is still a very valid enhancement
