LicensorTelephoneType1 and LicensorTelephoneType2 "Unknown" value

[Mammut]

I used the new 12.43 version.

I don't know who I need to report this "bug". I think case sensitive mismatch might be the culprit.

It's the official sample image from iptc.org, it's big, so I just link it:
https://www.iptc.org/std/photometadata/examples/IPTC-PhotometadataRef-Std2021.1.jpg

In the plus documentation the LicensorTelephoneType1 and LicensorTelephoneType2 members' cv url values are with small letters:

    http://ns.useplus.org/ldf/vocab/home (home)

But they are with capitalized words in the image's xmp:

     <plus:LicensorURL>https://example.com/LicensorURL_1_ref2021.1</plus:LicensorURL>
    </rdf:li>



So in exiftool's json these values will be "Unknown (Work)" and "Unknown (Cell)"

    "Licensor": {
      "id": "Licensor",
      "table": "PLUS::XMP",
      "val": [{
        "LicensorCity": "Licensor City 1 (ref2021.1)",
        "LicensorCountry": "Licensor Country 1 (ref2021.1)",
        "LicensorEmail": "Licensor Email 1 (ref2021.1)",
        "LicensorExtendedAddress": "Licensor Ext Addr 1 (ref2021.1)",
        "LicensorID": "Licensor ID 1 (ref2021.1)",
        "LicensorName": "Licensor Name 1 (ref2021.1)",
        "LicensorPostalCode": "Licensor Postcode 1 (ref2021.1)",
        "LicensorRegion": "Licensor Region 1 (ref2021.1)",
        "LicensorStreetAddress": "Licensor Street Addr 1 (ref2021.1)",
        "LicensorTelephone1": "Licensor Phone1 1 (ref2021.1)",
        "LicensorTelephone2": "Licensor Phone2 1 (ref2021.1)",
        "LicensorTelephoneType1": "Unknown (Work)",
        "LicensorTelephoneType2": "Unknown (Cell)",
        "LicensorURL": "https://example.com/LicensorURL_1_ref2021.1"


Of cource the error is in the image, it's clearly not the same as the specification. But I thought I'd mention it here because I don't know if you usually patch such cases in exiftool or not. Thanks.


edit: I corrected and imported the xmp and the json has good values now (with capitalized words ).

Your analysis is correct.  I have reported this to Michael Steidl at IPTC.

I don't know how this happened because IPTC uses ExifTool to prepare the sample files.

The reason that this was written incorrectly was because the IPTC was bypassing the restricted vocabulary as implemented by ExifTool by using the -n option.  They have now updated a fixed version of the sample file on their web site.

Thank you very much, Phil!
