Title: Namespace for XMP stArea tag seems to be wrong
Post by: tsporkert on July 13, 2011, 03:10:46 AM

From ExifTool 8.60, Image/ExifTool/XMP.pm, line 107:
stArea => 'http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/sType/Area#',
I believe it should be:
stArea => 'http://ns.adobe.com/xmp/sType/Area#',
according to the MWG Working Group spec at http://www.metadataworkinggroup.org/pdf/mwg_guidance.pdf (http://www.metadataworkinggroup.org/pdf/mwg_guidance.pdf), page 73:

APPENDIX C: XMP DEFINITIONS
This chapter contains missing XMP definitions that are necessary to support the new schemas.
Area
...
The field namespace URI is http://ns.adobe.com/xmp/sType/Area#
The preferred field namespace prefix is stArea

Hi Tilman,

Thank you very much for pointing out this error! I can't figure out how this happened.

It will be fixed in ExifTool 8.61 when it is released.
