19. The JPEG2000 file of claim 18 wherein said interactivity includes providing a bounding region of a portion of said image.

20. The JPEG2000 file of claim 19 wherein said bounding region is rectangular.

21. The JPEG2000 file of claim 19 wherein additional information regarding said content is associated with said bounding region of said image.

22. The JPEG2000 file of claim 15 wherein said information includes links to information external to said JPEG2000 file.

23. The JPEG2000 file of claim 15 wherein said information includes voice annotation.

24. The JPEG2000 file of claim 15 wherein said information includes object boundary information.

25. The JPEG2000 file of claim 15 wherein said information includes textual information regarding the content of said image free from copyright information.

26. The JPEG2000 file of claim 15 wherein said information is MPEG-7 data.

27. The JPEG2000 file of claim 26 wherein said MPEG-7 data is compliant with the MPEG-7 specification.

28. The JPEG2000 file of claim 26 wherein said information includes binary data.

30. The JPEG2000 file of claim 29 further including information within at least one of a metadata box and a UUID box describing the content of said image wherein said information is in XML format.

31. The JPEG2000 file of claim 29 wherein said JPEG2000 file includes a metadata box.

32. The JPEG2000 file of claim 30 wherein said information provides interactivity with said image.

33. The JPEG2000 file of claim 32 wherein said interactivity includes providing a bounding region of a portion of said image.

34. The JPEG2000 file of claim 33 wherein said bounding region is rectangular.

35. The JPEG2000 file of claim 33 wherein additional information regarding said content is associated with said bounding region of said image.

36. The JPEG2000 file of claim 30 wherein said information includes links to information external to said JPEG2000 file.

37. The JPEG2000 file of claim 30 wherein said information includes voice annotation.
