IPTC node tag definitions

A formal description of the tags in the XML job ticket IPTC node. This node allows you to add IPTC information to images. Contrary to the description of the other nodes, we do not list all possible tags. Instead, you must “assemble” your own tag names! For example, if you want to add text to the special instructions field, the tag name is: “tag_2_40_1” and the value is “this is the text I want to add in the special instructions field”.

tag_recordnr_datasetnr_repeatnr (type:string, range:n/a, default:””)

you must “assemble” your own tag names! For example, if you want to add text to the special instructions field, the tag name is: “tag_2_40_1” and the value is, for example: “this is the text I want to add in the special instructions field”. It would look like:

<entry key=”tag_2_40_1″ value=”this is the text I want to add in the special instructions field”/>

Record number and dataset number can be easily found in the IPTC specification, but also by adding a routing channel in Pixometry’s user-interface and look in the drop-down menu of IPTC fields. Repeat number is typically 1 unless you have fields that are allowed multiple times like keywords:

<entry key=”tag_2_25_1″ value=”keyword1″/>

<entry key=”tag_2_25_2″ value=”keyword2″/>

etc.
