Hi Phil,
I am new to EXIF Tool and I have a rather specific need that I'm hoping your tool can accomplish.
I have metadata in legacy and proprietary namespaces like http://ns.imf.org/legacy/subj_keyword
that I need to move to http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/subject.
Might EXIF Tool be able to accompish this? And of course I have no idea where to begin.
Any assistance you could render would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Al,
Sure, ExifTool can do this.
ExifTool has the ability to read proprietary tags from XMP, then you use the redirection feature of the -tagsFromFile option to copy these to standard XMP tags. See the application documentation (https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html) for details, or search this forum for lots of examples.
The command may look something like this:
exiftool "-xmp:SOMETAG<PROPRIETARYTAG1" "-xmp:ANOTHERTAG<PROPRIETARYTAG2" ... FILE
where FILE is one or more file and/or directory names.
