         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein identifying the calendar entry in calendar data of the user comprises:
 receiving permission from the user to access the calendar data of the user.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the title further includes a subject of the calendar entry. 
     
     
         8 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations for assigning a title to a digital image group, comprising:
 receiving a plurality of digital images associated with a user;   extracting time information from the plurality of digital images;   clustering the digital images into digital image groups based on the time information, wherein
 the digital image groups include the digital image group, and 
 the digital image group corresponds to a first time information; 
   identifying a calendar entry in calendar data of the user, wherein the calendar entry having a second time information that is a common time period with the first time information;   adding a descriptor of the common time period in the title; and   assigning the title to the digital image group.   
     
     
         9 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 8 ,
 wherein the operations further comprise:
 extracting, from the digital image group, visible image features; and 
 identifying a concept based on a semantic relatedness of the visible image features; and 
   wherein assigning the title to the digital image group further comprises:
 adding the concept to the title of the digital image group. 
   
     
     
         10 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 8 ,
 wherein the operations further comprise:
 identifying, using facial recognition, a person in the digital image group; and 
   wherein assigning the title to the digital image group further comprises:
 adding a name of the person in the title of the digital image group. 
   
     
     
         11 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 identifying the person as a social networking contact of the user; and   retrieving the name of the person from the social networking contact.   
     
     
         12 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 identifying the person in another image, wherein the name of the person is associated with the another image; and   retrieving the name of the person from the another image.   
     
     
         13 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 8 , wherein identifying the calendar entry in calendar data of the user comprises:
 receiving permission from the user to access the calendar data of the user.   
     
     
         14 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 8 , wherein the title further includes a subject of the calendar entry. 
     
     
         15 . A system, comprising:
