[Zope] ZCatalog metadata from images on the web? /kv

Is it possible to use Zope (and Zcatalog) to scan and index the metadata of
images on predefined URLs?

The idea is to edit all necessary metadata of the images on the local
machine with a fast tool. Then upload it to a regular file system via ftp
and let Zope scan and index the content including the metadata of that
folder.

This way the files themselves would hold all the metadata and we would not
have to enter it through the ZMI. Zope would be used for deploying the
images using their inherited metadata.

Zope would not be used for editing metadata of the images ... This way the
metadata of an image would not be bound to an application, in this case
Zope. The same folder with images could be reused with a different (metadata
aware) application.

is this possible? -- and would it make sense?
