Hi all
Does anyone bother embedding museumy IPTC / EXIF data into (collections)
images as part of their digitisation workflow?
If so, why? I'd suspect that a "so that people knew where the image came
from" reason may be one - but in reality do people actually _know_ about
this data in order to get back to the source organisation? Or are tools
like Google "upload an image" search or TinEye actually more used?
Also - given that there is evidence that almost all social media sites
strip out some or all of this data, is it still worthwhile?

cheers!
Mike
