Re: XMP Metadata to tab-delemited file

I can get the data out, and I can even get a single file created w/ all the metadata for all the images in the collection. It's just that it is unstructured and not useful as such. Anything xml would also be useful, but I haven't found a product that does that. 

I was really trying not to just call you up ;)

ResourceSpace does this internally to extract metadata. I think it's as simple as 
 
exiftool -t -s imagefile.tif  metadatafile.tab
 
Does this do what you want?

Hello,

I need to take xmp metadata that is imbedded in tif images and pull it out into a tab delimited text file for ingest into our digital repository (CONTENTdm). Has anyone done this using exiftool or the like?

Thanks,
A
