Group:
After approval at its Annual General Meeting held in early July the IPTC has now released its new Photo Metadata 2008 standards which include:
- the slightly updated IPTC Core 1.1 Schema
- the brand new IPTC Extension 1.0 Schema which complements and extends the set of IPTC Core metadata properties
As both standards are closely linked they are made available in one document which can be downloaded from
http://www.iptc.org/std/photometadata/2008/specification/IPTC-PhotoMetadata-2008_1.pdf
And something special for experts: as not all IIM metadata properties have been transformed into the XMP world by the IPTC Core specifications the IPTC has now created a schema for expressing all "orphaned" IIM properties in XMP, this schema specification can be obtained from
http://www.iptc.org/std/IIM/4.1/specification/IPTC-IIM-Schema4XMP-spec_1.pdf
