Name Schema

[Przemek]

In the similar way you can see EXIF Properties (http://ns.adobe.com/exif/1.0/) in the property tree is there a way to name new meta schema created with et. After adding new meta with the custom user tags I get Schema (http://mypage). I'd like to rename Schema to MyNewName. Thanks

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking, but there is an example of how to create your own custom XMP schema with ExifTool in the sample config file.  In this example, the schema name is 'xxx', but you can change this to whatever you want.

I'd like to rename 'Schema' to something else if possible. Thanks Phil.

[Phil Harvey]

You'll have to ask in a forum for the software you are using to see if this is possible.  The schema names in your screen shot are generated by whatever software you were running.

Schema was generated with exiftool using this example

%Image::ExifTool::UserDefined = (
   'Image::ExifTool::XMP::Main' => {
      myName => {
         SubDirectory => {
            Name => 'myName',
            TagTable => 'Image::ExifTool::UserDefined::myName',
         },
      },
   },
);

%Image::ExifTool::UserDefined::myName = (
   GROUPS => { 0 => 'XMP', 1 => 'XMP-myName', 2 => 'Image' },
   NAMESPACE => { 'myName' => 'http://ns.test.com/myName/1.0/' },
   WRITABLE => 'string',

   myNameInfo => {
      Struct => {
         NAMESPACE => { 'myNameInfo' => 'http://ns.test.com/myName/1.0/myNameInfo#' },
         STRUCT_NAME => 'myNameInfo',
         TestName => { },
         TestDisplayName => { },
         TestId => { },
      },
      List => 'Bag',
   },
   # shorten our flattened tag names
   myNameInfoTestName => {
      Name => 'TestName',
      Flat => 1,
   },
   myNameInfoTestDisplayName => {
      Name => 'TestDisplayName',
      Flat => 1,
   },
   myNameInfoTestId => {
      Name => 'TestId',
      Flat => 1,
   },
);

1; # end

exiftool -config config.cfg -xmp:TestName='taggger' ./1386075226_ipad.jpg

Right.  Notice that the word "Schema" doesn't exist anywhere in this config file.

It's not in the config file but after running ...

exiftool -config config.cfg -xmp:TestName='taggger' ./1386075226_ipad.jpg

Schema is being added in. Can this be set, named via the config file? Thanks Phil.

[Phil Harvey]

You should look at the actual XMP that was added:

exiftool -xmp -b ./1386075226_ipad.jpg

Based on

exiftool -xmp -b ./1386075226_ipad.jpg

The image represents the view in the Adobe Bridge. There is no Schema added in here either.

Thanks again Phil.

[Phil Harvey]

Exactly.  So all is good then?  You understand now that the schema description is something that the Adobe software is generating internally?

Looks like it. I assumed that there must be a way to generate a name for the 'Schema'. My idea was to create a section of the xmp tags that would be grouped under a single name. Bucket of xmp data that would represent a specific company etc.

Thanks Phil.
