ExifTool Forum

Hi Phil,

Months ago, with @hvdwolf we have incorporated ISAD(G) to jExifToolGUI.
I send you here the file 'isadg-struct.cfg' for you to consider the possibility of integrating it to ExifTool, as VRA Core will be soon.

Best

Hi Martin,

I tested your config file and it works - the XMP matches other ISAD(G) records I have.
Here are the commands I used:


exiftool -config isadg-struct.cfg -xmp-isadg:Identity="{Reference=REFERENCE, Title=TITLE, Date=DATE, DescriptionLevel=DESCRIPTION LEVEL, Extent=EXTENT}" "C:\Users\Computer User\Project\isadg_exiftool_test.jpg"

exiftool -config isadg-struct.cfg -xmp-isadg:Context="{Creator=CREATOR, Adminbiohistory=ADMIN BIO HISTORY, Archivalhistory=ARCHIVAL HISTORY, Acqinfo=ACQ INFO}" "C:\Users\Computer User\Project\isadg_exiftool_test.jpg"

exiftool -config isadg-struct.cfg -xmp-isadg:Contentstructure="{Scopecontent=SCOPE CONTENT, Appraisaldestruction=APPRAISAL DESTRUCTION, Accruals=ACCRUALS, Arrangement=ARRANGEMENT}"  "C:\Users\Computer User\Project\isadg_exiftool_test.jpg"

exiftool -config isadg-struct.cfg -xmp-isadg:Conditionsaccessuse="{Accessrestrictions=ACCESS RESTRICTIONS, Reprorestrictions=REPRO RESTRICTIONS, Languagescripts=LANGUAGE SCRIPTS, Phystech=PHYS TECH, Findingaids=FINDING AIDS}" "C:\Users\Computer User\Project\isadg_exiftool_test.jpg"

exiftool -config isadg-struct.cfg -xmp-isadg:Alliedmaterials="{Existencelocationoriginals=EXISTENCE LOCATION ORIGINALS, Existencelocationcopies=EXISTENCE LOCATION COPIES, Relatedunits=RELATED UNITS, Publication=PUBLICATION}" "C:\Users\Computer User\Project\isadg_exiftool_test.jpg"

exiftool -config isadg-struct.cfg -xmp-isadg:NotesNote="NOTES" "C:\Users\Computer User\Project\isadg_exiftool_test.jpg"

exiftool -config isadg-struct.cfg -xmp-isadg:Descriptioncontrol="{Archivistsnote=ARCHIVISTS NOTE, Rulesconventions=RULES CONVENTIONS, Descriptionsdate=DESCRIPTION DATE}" "C:\Users\Computer User\Project\isadg_exiftool_test.jpg"

Hi Greg,

Thank you very much for the confirmation.
I really... tried to do it but I have Harry. hvdwolf [https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1214 (https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1214)] to thank, who has helped me with this and has also recently incorporated it into jExifToolGUI https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=11355.0 (https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=11355.0)  .

I resist adding new XMP namespaces to ExifTool unless there is enough demand.  I don't think this namespace falls into this category.  I've decided against adding the VRA core tags too for now.

Hi Phil,

If I may, adding "VRA" and/or "ISADG" namespaces to ExifTool would be very much appreciated by those, like me, who work with metadata in cultural institutions.

Thank you very much for the great job!
