Software supporting IPTC photo metadata standards IIM and "IPTC Core"
Introduction
The IPTC provides standards for photo metadata for more than a decade:
- In the early 1990's IPTC's Information Interchange Model (IIM) standard was adopted to provide metadata fields in digital image files. This set of metadata is called "IPTC data", "IPTC fields" or "IPTC header".
- In 2005 the IPTC released the "IPTC Core" standard for metadata based on Adobe's technical XMP framework.
