Hi James I asked a similar question back in June - lots of answers / debate then - might be worth looking at the archive: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A1=ind1506&L=MCG#33 That was about the IPTC/EXIF side of things, not watermarking. There may have been new developments since then, sure list members will let us know if so! cheers Mike _____________________________ Mike Ellis Thirty8 Digital: a small but perfectly formed digital agency: http://thirty8.co.uk * My book: http://heritageweb.co.uk * * New: Workshops, courses and free downloads: http://trainingdigital.co.uk/ * On 25 May 2016 at 09:41:22, James Morley ([log in to unmask]) wrote: Hi all At IWM we're about to reprocess all of our derivative images for online display, which gives us the perfect opportunity to very simply upgrade the metadata we embed with images. Are there any guidelines out there for best practise with regard to embedding metadata? What is the best standard to use, what minimum fields etc? Also, is there any form of digital watermarking that has any practical use, at least so that I have the right answers when asked!
