Abstract: A method of digital image management is described for a mobile device having both a camera capable of taking digital images and an ability to communicate with the internet. There is an internet schema resident on the Internet and a mobile device schema resident in the mobile device. The data fields of the mobile device schema are updated to correspond with the internet schema whenever the mobile device connects with the internet schema. A graphical user interface resident in the mobile device allows a user to input, into the mobile device schema, metadata descriptive of the subject of a digital image contemporaneously with taking of the digital image. This metadata is independent of the digital image, but linked to the digital image for future recall. The graphical user interface resident in the mobile device also allows the user to upload to the internet schema and grant permission for viewing access.
