Alexander Zane has been in the business of tagging and cataloguing visual assets for almost twenty years, and is presently the president of A2Z Keywording, Inc. Starting as an indexer for Chelsea House Publishers, Mr. Zane moved on to create indices for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and stock photography houses, Direct Stock and American Showcase.  As the stock photography industry moved to the web, Mr. Zane developed a proprietary software program that assists keyworders by automatically generating synonyms, plurals, variant British spellings and words, along with related conceptual terms,.  Using this program, A2Z Keywording is able to attach a comprehensive matrix of keywords to each and every image.  Recently, Alexander Zane and A2Z Keywording have applied this “Full Language” method to the challenge of improving efficiency and cost savings for large media companies by making their million image archives easily accessible to their editors and graphic artists.
