I have been asked to design an application to manage folders of image files (these are scanned images) The images need to be retrieved on the basis of 1 or more attributes. An example may make this clear.

Image1 is an image of two people (Fred and Tom) taken in 1987 in Lowestoft
Image2 was taken in London in 2004
Image3 is an image of  Paul (don't know when or where it was taken)

In order to be able to retrieve images based on one or more attributes I am considering setting up a table like this

KeyType   KeyValue   Image

Name       Fred            Image1
Name       Tom            Image1
Place        Lowestoft   Image1
Year         1987           Image1
Place         London      Image2
Year         2004           Image2
Name        Paul            Image3

etc etc

The idea is to give flexibility to the number of different KeyTypes
Comments ?  Suggestions ?

Thanks
