We have added the following addition to the "Use Cases" section: Image Search Many search engines provide an option to search for images and present the results out of context. The ability to discover and process identified descriptions allows search engines to improve the source material they use to support text-based queries for images. Describing Images Image search tools identify multiple copies of the same image. Where a search tool can identify a description of an image, this can be provided to the user as a description for any copies of that image.
