Many institutions and individuals use embedded metadata to aid in the management of their image collections. Many deskop image management solutions such as Adobe Bridge and online tools such as Flickr also make use of embedded metadata to describe, categorise and license images. Until now Scratchpads (a data management system and virtual research environment for biodiversity) have not made use of these metadata, and users have had to manually re-enter this information if they have wanted to display it on their Scratchpad site. The Drupal described here allows users to map metadata embedded in their images to the associated field in the Scratchpads image form using one or more customised mappings. The module works seamlessly with the bulk image uploader used on Scratchpads and it is therefore possible to upload hundreds of images easily with automatic metadata (EXIF, XMP and IPTC) extraction and mapping.
许多机构和个人使用嵌入式元数据来辅助管理他们的图像集。许多桌面图像管理解决方案，如Adobe Bridge，以及在线工具，如Flickr，也利用嵌入式元数据来描述、分类和授权图像。到目前为止，Scratchpads（一个用于生物多样性的数据管理系统和虚拟研究环境）尚未利用这些元数据，并且如果用户想要在他们的Scratchpad网站上显示这些信息，就必须手动重新输入。这里描述的Drupal允许用户使用一个或多个定制映射，将嵌入在其图像中的元数据映射到Scratchpads图像表单中的相关字段。该模块与Scratchpads上使用的批量图像上传器无缝协作，因此可以轻松上传数百张图像，并自动提取和映射元数据（EXIF、XMP和IPTC）。
