BS ISO/IEC 15444-6:2003 defines a normative but optional file format for storing compound images using the JPEG 2000 file format family architecture.

This standard:

• specifies a binary container for multiple bi-level and continuous-tone images used to represent a compound image
• specifies a mechanism by which multiple images can be combined into a single compound

  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.
