What follows is a terse answer explaining how I'd go about it, but
giving no information about how to accomplish each of the steps. sorry I
can't offer any more right now. Hope it helps.



Create a ZClass that represents the metadata of your image objects --
that is,

  Path to the image on Apache
  Keywords

Each time someone enters an image, save the image via LocalFS to a
filesystem folder accessible from Apache, and create an instance of your
metadata ZClass.

Your metadata ZClass should derive fom CatalogAware.
