Is there a tag, where a picture can be flagged as "family-friendly", "adult-content", painting, a.s.o.?

I'm not aware of a tag like this, although it sounds like a really
common piece of information that many people could use.

Unless someone comes up with a better idea, there are 2 things I
can think of:  1) Pick one of the many description tags for this purpose,
or 2) define your own XMP tag.  Personally I'd go with 2 myself.

Phil, do I need all the things mentioned at http://www.exiftool.org/faq.html#Q11? I would like to write a tag, eg. called "xmp:mytag" with a content "painting" from a bash script and I don't want to define config-files or whatever. If this is not possible I will search for a description tag.

User-defined tags are added via a configuration file.  There is a sample
config file included with the full distribution.  But it sounds like a
Description tag may be the way to go for you.
