Embedded metadata mapping
By using embedded metadata mapping, selected metadata embedded in an image can be copied automatically during upload into specified Trinity metadata fields.
As delivered Trinity has a standard metadata map. The screen shot below shows that the standard metadata map is set to copy embedded metadata from an image to specified fields in Trinity, i.e.
- The ‘XMP-dc:Creator’ tag is copied to the Trinity field ‘Creator’.
- The ‘IPTC:Keywords’ tag is copied to the Trinity field ‘Keyword Tags’.
- The ‘File:File Type’ tag is copied to the Trinity field ‘Source File Extension’.
Managing and editing a metadata map
Administration / Metadata Maps page. Click the metadata map you want to edit, in this example Standard, then click a mapping to edit e.g. Digital Asset Data: Keywords Tags <‐> IPTC:Keywords
This screen is displayed.
Explanation of mapping settings
- Component - the component type being mapped.
- Field - the field that embedded metadata will be copied to.
- Tag Group - the embedded metadata group from which a tag name will be selected.
- Tag Name - the embedded tag from which data will be copied.
- Precedence - if two source tags are mapped to one Trinity field, setting 1 here checks this tag first for valid data. If it doesn’t have valid data the other field will then be checked.
