[mashup-dev] IBM's virtual XML garden - an XML mashup?

[Jonathan Marsh]

This part really caught my eye:

"Exif/JPEG images, which can be viewed in virtual XML form with all the
metadata tags encoded in the XML structure."

This would be totally cool as part of the mashup server.  There's a lot of
great information to be gathered from Exif to play with!  Got an intern with
some spare time?
