IPTC releases draft specification for IPTC Core "Extended"

The draft specification "IPTC Photo Metadata 2008" is now publicly available for review. There have been some minor modifications to version 1.1 of the IPTC Core (released in 2005), however the new IPTC Core "Extended" adds a significant number of new properties which complement and extend the current IPTC Core.
