PACA'S METADATA STANDARDS
July 20 2006
The PACA Board has approved the release of PACA's Metadata Standards version 1.0 and the entire document is available in pdf format by clicking on the hot link.
This "PACA Distrubtor" XMP panel will power the consistent entry of embedded text about a picture's distributor, model releases, etc. into image headers which are viewable in Photoshop's File Info screens. It will complement existing IPTC and future PLUS licensing panels. By mid October it will hopefully be downloadable from PACA's website and available for immediate use.
The Board has also directed PACA's technology committee, headed by Drew Maclean, to set up a mechanism for periodic input into these metadata standards by PACA's membership, and for the generation of updated releases when required.
