Scientific paper

The Virtual Astronomy Multimedia Project (VAMP) represents a groundbreaking new resource for sharing and utilizing outreach imagery. Publication-quality imagery can be tagged following the Astronomy Visualization Metadata (AVM) standard for encapsulating all of the key contextual information about each image (title, caption, image colors/composition, observatories, WCS projection, etc.). AVM-tagged imagery can be registered with the VAMP Archive, now in developoment at the Infrared Science Archive (IRSA) at IPAC. The VAMP Archive, will allow imagery to be found in fundamentally more useful manners than is currently possible. It will also enable a new generation of innovative applications (e.g. desktop planetarium software) to dynamically draw upon the lastest graphics as soon as they become available. The tools now exist to tag existing image libraries in preparation for inclusion in the VAMP Archive.
