Hi,

It is possible, at least the extraction part. I don;t know enough about
Digitool to know the deposit part. We wrote a series of shell scripts,
using exiftool (as I see others are suggesting). The output is then put
through a number of sed commands and outputs a file that can be deposited
into our digital preservation system, Rosetta.
