  image, based on the Mixed Raster Content model

• specifies a mechanism for grouping multiple images in a hierarchy of layout objects, pages and page collections
• specifies a mechanism for storing JPEG 2000 and other compressed image data formats
• specifies a mechanism by which metadata can be included in files specified by this standard.
