Hi Shea, Well, one option you might explore is extracting metadata from images using exiftool (http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/) to a CSV or TXT file and then convert this file to what ever tool or file format (xml) you use for batch import to your CMS. So semi-automated. We currently do the reverse, embed metadata into images and then ingest to our IR (DSpace). hope this helps, Monica On 12/17/2013 3:37 PM, Swauger,Shea wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm wondering if there is a systematic method that can extract metadata embedded in digital photographs and then ingest that metadata into a CMS and relate them to their corresponding images.
