Abstract(in English) The advancement of technology have been making digital cameras more and more affordable for everyone. Digital photographs have grown exponentially this last decade and have been making it beyond the ability of people to manage their own photo collections. We propose a personal photo library system with built-in semi-automatic annotation engine. Photos with geo-referential (GPS) information are the current tendency. Using the exact location information given by GPS together with timestamp ,our novel engine semi-automatically generate contextual meta-data for each photo from different sources of information namely the public news and user's personal information. We have designed, implemented and tested our system and the result show that our system significantly helps users to annotate, search, browse their digital photo album.
