Taxonomies, Controlled Vocabularies, Structured Keyword Collections

FastPictureViewer Professional features a state-of-the-art IPTC metadata editor with assisted "suggest-as-you-type" keyword entry. Users can add pre-built keyword lists to FPV Pro and the program will search amongst keywords, categories and synonyms to make the most pertinent suggestions. Keyword lists are also known as taxonomies, controlled vocabularies or structured keyword collections.

FastPictureViewer can read keyword lists made in the same format as the one defined by Adobe Lightroom. These lists follows simple conventions and can be built by end-users using almost any text editor, for example Windows Notepad.

There are several pre-built taxonomies compatible with FastPictureViewer Pro readily available from various sources. Some are professionally made commercial products and can be acquired from their respective publishers while others are offered as donationware or freeware.

The list shown below is by no means exhaustive, please let us know if you publish your own keyword collection and would like us to add it to this page.

Prices and license terms are only indicative and can change without notice, please see the respective publisher's websites for accurate information regarding content, pricing and licensing of the collections described below.

Entries in bold are professionally crafted and maintained commercial keyword hierarchies suitable for commercial use (please see the license terms of the respective authors).

Note that "more" is not necessarily "better", compare the offerings and see what suits you best. In any case, FastPictureViewer Pro can use several collections simultaneously, so it's not a problem to use all those collections together: it just expands the number of suggestions that the program will make while typing.
