-PRivacy-Intent Metadata Extension
\ No newline at end of file
+This repository is intended to collect ideas, references and experiments relating to a proposal to include metadata regarding privacy aspects into multimedia data.
+
+
+## What?
+
+The idea is to have a picture or video ore something like that to include information about:
+
+Is it ok to
+
+* send this file to others
+* show this file to others
+* store it unencrypted
+* include it in (long term) archives
+
+And maybe also how the long the file should be kept and how to share it with others.
+
+
+## Metadata Standards
+
+* [Exif](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exif)
+* [XMP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Metadata_Platform)
+* [IPTC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPTC_Information_Interchange_Model)
+
+
+## FAQ
+
+### Is this DRM?
+
+No, this is about making it easier to others to respect your privacy intents, if you attach them to a file.
+
+
+### Shouldn't we enforce this restrictions technically?
+
+No! This would cause a lot more trouble. Just imagine someone being able to withheld proof by such means.
+
+
+### Are you trying to solve social problems with technology?
+
+ No, this tries to address the technical problems of a person willing to respect your privacy.
