I'd be more concern that the game throws up very generic and vague
descriptions like, person, ship, cat, dog, tree, flowers, street. Which in
itself might seem helpful but may not even highlight the important aspect.

   - Would a bot doing an initial keyword search of the description be more
   effective
   - descriptions should already have a language code embedded.
   - I would hope many of the GLAMs have embedded keywords in the meta
   data/camera info which could be extracted like co-ords are.
