In this paper, we propose a new promising photo album application format, which enables augmented use of digital home photos over a wide range of mobile devices and semantic photo consumption as minimizing user's manual tasks. The photo album application format packages photo collection and associated metadata based on MPEG-4 file format. The schema of the album metadata is designed in two levels: collection- and item-level descriptions. The collection-level description is metadata related to group of photos, each of which has item-level description that contains its detailed information. To demonstrate the use of the proposed album format on mobile devices, a photo album system was also developed, which could realize semantic photo consumption in sense of situation, category, and person.
