Does anybody has a setup for storing image credits in a way that can be automatically processed, e.g., by a #Pandoc filter?
The idea is: when I use an image in a lecture, the required image credits are looked up automatically and added to the slides or lecture notes in a way that is appropriate for the output format (as a footnote, a link, listed on an extra page, etc.).
The hardest part seems to be to decide where to store the information, because there are so many standards (see, e.g., https://cweiske.de/tagebuch/exif-url.htm or https://iptc.org/standards/photo-metadata/quick-guide-to-iptc-photo-metadata-and-google-images/).
@true_mxp I recommend using exiftool to ingest information into the embedded metadata of your image files. Particularly interesting for your case are the MWG composite tags (Metadata Working Group recommendations), especially the "Description" tag which allows you to enter the desired caption for your image in the right place according to the main standards (Exif, Iptc, Dublin core, etc.) https://exiftool.org/TagNames/MWG.html
@dvnr Thanks, this looks extremely useful! This seems to solve the problem of having a dozen tags that all mean almost, but not quite, the same…
