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’.

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.
