內嵌詮釋資料是一個將詮釋資料存入數位檔案的應用技術與方法，可用來解決長久以來，發生在典藏管理應用將數位物件及詮釋資料分開來處理，造成數位物件遺失描述資訊；以及在檔案管理應用上，可用以解決圖像檢索問題。內嵌詮釋資料應用技術自2000年被實作至今，目前技術發展已臻成熟；其應用雖逐漸被推廣應用在新聞傳播、設計與印刷用途上，卻鮮見於典藏管理應用上。
本研究分析了DIG35、MIX、DISC、EXIF、IPTC及Adobe XMP詮釋資料內嵌應用之技術，再依訪談與應用情境分析，來建立典藏應用模型與操作需求，並透過檔案測試與雛形系統實作驗證，建構出一套具內嵌詮釋資料應用的典藏管理系統，藉由實作結果整理出建議的內嵌詮釋資料應用規格、檔案格式與應用技術，做為其他典藏系統發展與導入內嵌詮釋資料應用之建議。
研究並探討了內嵌詮釋資料技術，在應用上的限制與瓶頸，以及提出其他延伸應用的可能性，藉以提供後續研究與發展之參考。

Embedded Metadata is a technical application of inserting the metadata into digital files. For archiving management; it can be used to solve the missing problems of descriptions which were caused by people handling the digital objects and metadata separately. In term of files management, it can be used to improve search problems of image.
The Embedded Metadata technology has been implemented from 2000 and has become a mature technology now. Although it is comprehensive applied in Journalism & Communication, design and printing pruposes, it’s rarely been used in archiving management. This study was based on the analysis of Embedded Metadata technology, such as DIG35, MIX, DISC, EXIF, IPTC and Adobe XMP, and the result of interviews and application senarios to build an archiving application model.
The study result shows the suggestions of applying Embedded Metadata technology in archive system, including implement specifications, file format and application of technology, and the implement limitation and extension.
