Hello, I am working in a company doing archaeology, and we would like to attach custom information to the pictures, things like:
- A code for the site (5-10 characters)
- Several IDs for the object on the picture, where it was found,what layer it was in
- An ID for the photo
etc etc...
Instead of customizing the value of the EXIF userComments field (which I read was bad habit in the metadataworkinggroup whitepaper), I wondered if it was possible to create our own XMP shema - and enter the data with exiftools - an if yes, if any documentation would ba available?
Or maybe there is a better way to add custom metadata?
Thanks

See the
exiftool
config file documentation for an example of how to do this.
