Feb 12, 2014 at 14:58 comment added unor @JanDoggen: If the tool writes the metadata directly into the files (instead of using a database etc.), I want it to use a "known" format, i.e. a format that other tools would (principally) be able to read, so that I’m not vendor locked-in.
Feb 12, 2014 at 14:28 comment added user416 @unor Sorry, misread you requirement, it says 'may'. You're still left with the difficulty that XMP is not supported in/for all formats. but maybe that's not neccasry for you.
Feb 12, 2014 at 13:22 comment added unor @JanDoggen: Which metadata requirement do you mean exactly? -- If I understand solutions 1) and 2) correctly, they both seem to be valid answers according to my requirements.
Feb 12, 2014 at 10:04 comment added user416 Your 'must be in the metadata' requirement makes your search difficult. Can I suggest two different approaches in case no suitable candidate turns up? -> 1) Add files with a structured data format (like XML) next to the image files; these are searchable and maintainable, and there are likely tools for that available. 2) Use some sort of tagging software; downside is it will keep the tags in a separte (monolithic) structure.
