IPTC location metadata import.

Since Aperture 3 doesn't write the GPS EXIF info into the master even when selecting write metadata to master (see post http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2335593&tstart=0) I am using houdageo instead of A3 places feature to geotag referenced pictures. There's however a bug with Aperture 3. After I modify the GPS data and IPTC location fields in Houdageo I select "update metadata from master" in Aperture 3, the GPS info gets updated but not the IPTC location fields.

Same problem here:
- geotagging within Aperture 3 won't write any data into IPTC location tags
- tagging with Maperture Pro with running reverse geocode there gives me the same result: latitude, longitude and altitude are filled in, but neither city nor country and that stuff
Seems to be a but I suppose - these things did work with A2 and Maperture Pro.
Any suggestions or hints -- or do we have to wait for an upgrade?

Metadata: IPTC Location bug

Have clean LR install (no previous beta's) and fresh created database with 1159 images (mixed CR2 and jpg) on PC (AMD 3000+, 1Gig RAM) -and I do know how to maintain WinXP.
I've selected one image and tagged all four IPTC location fields:
Country= Slovenia
State= Doma
City= Doma
Location= Doma
After a while (damn, why this takes so long), fields on the left pane (Metadata Browser) were updated. Then I deleted Location tag and leaved Country, State and City untouched. After a while (again), left pane's content updated and... (I hope you'll understand what I'm trying to say)...
I still see country (Slovenia) there, but it contains zero entries! So I have in total 1159 Location entries, Slovenia zero entries and 1158 Unknown Country -weird. I can click on Slovenia (which is greyed out), but no image gets shown in thumbnail preview. If I look after this particular image manually, I can still see that image's Country is Slovenia (and I can also find image using Find: IPTC=Slovenia). Also I don't see State and City entries (which are "Doma") anymore in left pane.
Yes, I've closed and reopened LR, but things remain the same. There's no way I can force LR to refresh it's database.
Before continuing I need to say, that I AM database approach fan. Here and there I can read LR's database (workflow, speed,..) isn't so bad after all.. and that some are too picky, complaining all the time.... Let me tell, that LR's database approach is one of the worst I've seen so far:
Reflections (updating on the left pane) to every correction made by user takes way too long. Actually I wouldn't care about that (being done in background), but if you type fast enough (on the right pane) and edit your mistakes here and there, then you simply cannot know how far have you come -it takes too long before left pane is up to date.
Why can't I simply select couple of images and drag them into desired Location field (simila as with Keywords)? It's a basic task. Why there's no simply way to see untaged (Not Keyworded, Not Localized, Not edited) files? Yes, I can do something of that with Color/Star/Flag labeling, but why increasing workflow?
I suppose Collections is something like "Albums" in other DAM's. If I click on some thumbnail, how can I know in which collection image is (if in any)?
Why I cannot select (in Collections, Keywords,...) only images which are in selected parent tree (subtree content excluded)?
In short: user shouldn't notice there's database working behind -in this case, I'm quite sure, everybody will like "database paradigm".
Greetings to all,
Bogdan

I think I'm getting to understand IPTC Location issue here (if somebody interested)...
On the left panel (Metadata Browser), tag Location (once filled with some string) has the the lowest (deepest) position in the tree:
Country->State->City->"Location"
If Location is blank, entry resides outside this tree (=Unknown Location inside Location). So, Location tag (not Location section in Metadata Browser) seems to be something like root location tag: if it is empty, other location tags (Country, City,...) aren't managed. Now I'm curious... why does "Unknown Location" reside outside "Unknown Country" -I suppose it should be inside "Unknown City". If there is a reason for being outside, then this tag (Location) shouldn't influence other Location (Country, City...) behaviour.

DAM: integrate/harmonize Collections, Keywords and IPTC location

Lightroom currently presents the user with two independent methods to assign photos to a hierarchical structure: collections and keywords. Unless I missed something, keywords do everything that collections do, and more.
In addition, there is one structure that is inherently hierarchical, but is not currently implemented as such: the IPTC (metadata) location. For instance, the city of Amsterdam lies in the province of North Holland in The Netherlands, so entering Amsterdam in the 'City' field implies a province and a country.
Based on these observations, I have a couple of suggestions:
* Enhance the usability of collections with a few of the keyword features: listing all assigned collections upon selection, and dragging collections onto photos to assign.
* Allow users to convert collection trees to keyword trees, and possibly back (convenient for import/export, or changing ones mind as to what paradigm to use).
* Allow users to either export a keyword tree to the IPTC location fields, or to make a dynamic link between the two (i.e. updating the keyword would immediately affect the location data). This feature would also require an 'exclusivity swith', see below.
* Introduce an 'exclusivity switch' for keywords or collections, implying that you may only assign *one* keyword in its sub-tree to any particular image. This makes sense for location, because an image was made in a particular location, but it can also be used other contexts. For example, to indicate where the latest version of a file has been backed up to, or what the status (imported, selected, processed, finished) of a file is.
* Introduce dynamic collections *and* dynamic keywords. I have read things about query-based dynamic collections coming to Lightroom, but please also create 'dynamic keywords'. This would allow keywords to remain the catch-all organization structure, instead of dividing functionality across collections and keywords.
I think these features could make a significant contribution to Lightroom's DAM capabilities. If implemented alongside improved search capabilities, they would allow me (and possibly others) to stop using my stand-alone DAM application.
Simon

John, I had forgotten the fact that keywords do not have any output settings associated with them, unlike collections. I support your idea of indicating which collections have these settings attached to them.
Still, except for this point, keywords can currently be made to do the same things that collections do. You can even keep them private by choosing not to export certain keywords. Note that even though this is the case, I do not ask for the abolishment of collections per se, because it is convenient to maintain the *conceptual* difference (in addition to the output metadata in collections).
On the locations, I don't think the 'problem' is solved simply by exporting the location data to a keyword tree. It's the other direction that would greatly speed up the workflow. For example, dragging Amsterdam (potentially one of many Amsterdams) onto an image, would automatically assign the higher level fields as well. A metadata preset would indeed do the same, but only after one has created such a preset for every location, which can quickly add up.
Also, I did not mean to imply that dynamic keywords would be beneficial for keeping track of the location metadata. In general, dynamic categories (collections or keywords) are very useful for saving searches or keeping track of an internal workflow (like: if an image is not in a backup collection, it is not backed up). Specifically, I can imagine someone wanting to couple a search result to an exported keyword. For example, for a personal website or a Flickr account, you may want to tag images with the keyword '5stars' that is automatically generated.
The way I see it, there is currently no real difference in the logical structures that can be constructed using collections and keywords. The distinctions between the two are in the input or output phase. It would be a shame to see the logical capabilities of collections enhanced with 'smart' collections, whilst leaving keywords behind.
By the way, I'm all for a scripting interface, but I think that it's best to get the basics implemented in the right way first.
Simon
PS - You pointed out the existence of custom fields as a workflow solution. I have no experience with them, and don't have access to Lightroom on this machine, so I'll get back on that later.

No IPTC caption on import!- How did you migrate xl-library to Aperture?

Folks,
How can you possibly migrate a 100.000 plus image library into Aperture without having to completely redo the IPTC captions after import?
I find my images mainly by IPTC searches (so far iView pro) which to me represent years of captioning work.
Now that 1.5 has finally given us more control to reference our library I started to get excited again about Aperture, but IPTC only on export is not enough IMO.
How did you manage to ideal having DAM and Raw processor in one app?

Thx Jeremy,
did you get hold of a copy of Adam's new version that
covers iView 3.1 and Aperture 1.5 or did you use
their older version?
Could you in any way keep the organixational
structure of iView's "Category Sets" when you
exported all your stuff into Aperture?
best regards,
grischa
Hi again. To explain better what I meant - I didn't use Annoture, I just used the function in iView itself whereby you can "synch" the metadata that you add in iView back to the file itself, so it is stored within the image file. Then when you import that image file into Aperture, the information is correctly read.
There is one problem - iView uses some fields that (I think) are not read by Aperture (Location, maybe ??) or that are not used correctly (iView stores "People" in the "Contact" field for example) However, there is also a script in iView that allows you to copy metadata items from place to place, so you could copy the iView Location field to Keywords, so that it is seen by Aperture when you import it.
Hope that makes sense!!
regards,
Jeremy

Data Services 12.2.3.0 BODI-1112015 Adapter metadata import failed

Hi Experts,
I am using Data Services 12.2.3.0.
I have an issue in importing functions through 'Adapter' type datastore into Data Services. I can open the datastore and see the list of functions available, but when I try to import them, I get the error BODI-1112015 Adapter metadata import failed.
The setup and the errors are as below.
The adapter datastore is setup as below.
I built a new keystore called clientkeystore.jks in the ..\bin.Then created the .CSR file, and then imported the signed chained (I believe it's chained certificate) certificate of the server hosting the wsdl into the keystore.
Thanks for the post http://scn.sap.com/thread/1589052 . After changing the metadata character set to utf-8, I can see a list of functions when I open this New_Datastore in Data Services. It proves that the setup for the datastore has no problem parsing the wsdl file and give me the list of functions in it.
However, the error appears when I try to import them.
Error is:
Adapter metadata import failed. Error message: (BODI-1112015) Error parsing the <TheFunctionToBeImported> included in the XML sent by the adapter to represet a function <Error importing XML Schema from file <adapter_schema_in.xsd>:<XML parser failed: Error <Schema Representation Constraint: Namespace 'http://result.form.v81.api.keysurvey.com' is referenced without <import> declaration> at line <13>, char <46> in < < xsd:schema xmln:xsd=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmln:tns="http://result.form.v81.api.keystore.com" xmlns:diws="http://businessobjects.com/diwebservice" targetnamespace="http://www.businessobjects.com/diwebservice"><xsd:import namespace='http://v81.api.keysurvey.com' schemaLocation='C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Data Services\ext\webservice\FormResultManagemenetgetRespondentsgetRespondents0.xsd'/>
<xsd: import namespace='http://result.form.v81.api.keysurvey.com' schemaLocation='C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Data Services\ext\webservice\FormResultManagemenetgetRespondentsgetRespondents2.xsd'/> ........
When comparing it with the wsdl file(as below), it is worth nothing that the schemaLocation is changed to a local directory under C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Data Services\ext\webservice while it was not the case in wsdl. The schemaLocation is on the server.
I am wondering if the redirection from the server specified in the wsdl file to the local directory has caused this error. The error 'namespace is reference without <import>' is apparently wrong as the <import> is just there.
Or there is any other reason behind this.
I appreciate any adivce or question from you!

I have reached the exact same error as this post http://scn.sap.com/thread/3190403
The error is
[Mon Jun 18 23:14:28 2012] [error] ..\..\src\core\deployment\conf_builder.c(876) Specifyingservices and modules directories using axis2.xml but path of the library directory is not present

As it is identified as an version problem, this issue is not going to be investigated any further.
As an alternative, can try to use Oracle 11g SOAP_API.sql.

OpenJPA - ArgumentException: Could not locate metadata for the class usi...

I'm getting the following exception when executing logic/queries around JPA entity classes:
{color:#333399}nested exception is: <1.0.0 fatal user error> org.apache.openjpa.persistence.ArgumentException: Could not locate metadata for the class using alias "MyClass". This could mean that the OpenJPA enhancer or load-time weaver was not run on the type whose alias is "MyClass". Registered alias mappings: "{MyClass=null}"{color}
I get this exception on occassion. It is intermitent and i can't seem to reproduce it consistently.
I'm using the following:
WebLogic: 10
KODO: 4.1.3.1 bundled with WL10 which in turn uses OpenJPA 1.0.0
In other forums on the net they have suggested explicitly adding the classes to the persistence.xml file ( i've done this )
They have also stated to run the openjpa enhancer on the code before deployment to WL ( done this too!)
One last step that i have yet to attempt is to load the class within the code before use ( haven't tried this as it seems so hackish)
Any other thoughts? ANyone else experience this?
Thanks

We are having the same issue.. Anybody knows how to deal with this problem?

OBIEE 10g/11g RPD as a Data Source - Driver Name for metadata imports

Hi,
I'm trying to use OBIEE's RPD as a relational source in Informatica 9.5.1 PowerCenter Designer. I have the ODBC connection to the OBIEE's BI Server and can connect to it. I'm using OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 (I also need to do something similar with OBIEE 11g). I've posted this question to the Informatica forum as well.
In order to use OBIEE as a third-party relational data source, Informatica needs OBIEE's DLL for metadata imports.
I've tried, with no luck, NQSODBC.DLL & NQSDRIVER.DLL.
Does anyone know what DLL it might be? It could be an issue on Informatica's end as well.
Thanks.

Hi,
For some more details, you can refer to the following document;
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/discoverer/discoverer-metadata-conversion-assi-128504.pdf
My personal expreriences:
The Metadata Conversion Utility is an accellerator / assistant. It does not provide you with an end product. There is some additional handwork requiered. It could be a risk when you copy an old Oracle Discoverer environment. Shit in is shit out. Last but not least; There is not yet a workbook migration utility.

Location of imported a Financial Report ?

I imported a Financial Report in the HFM 9.3 workspace but I cannot find it. I was never prompted for a location to import to. Where does an imported Financial report go ? We are using HFM 9.3.1

It might be at the top level, i.e. /Root/ or whatever Directory you were in when the started the import.
If it was more than one report, it will import the folder structure with the reports, so be on the lookout for folders rather than financial reports.

Adapter metadata import failed

I get 'Adapter metadata import failed' error while trying to import a put operation in the Business Objects Data Services designer in the JMSADAPTER type datastore. The xsd file is in place but the error message says that 'File <ADAPTER_MESSAGE_SCHEMA.XSD> is not a valid XML schema. The XSD that I specified in the operation is of a different name, and am not able to figure out where an XSD for this name comes in.
The same job in the same repository happens to work with no errors on a different Job server.The error it gives is 'File <ADAPTER_MESSAGE_SCHEMA.xsd> is not a valid XML Schema specification.'

I have DI 11.7.3.2 and the error is almost the same, BODI-1112010 : metadata import failed, the service is define as:
http://clwlkd2:19080/.wowlink-services-router-http/services/IAlertPortTypePort
and the wsdl file is:
http://clwlkd2:19080/.wowlink-services-router-http/services/IAlertPortTypePort/wsdl/v1/alert/services/wowlink/woolworths/com/au/AlertService.wsdl
this service is not using http basic authentication, the security is inside every object.
Looks that DI probably is transparently following the HTTP redirect from
     http://clwlkd2:19080/.wowlink-services-router-http/services/IAlertPortTypePort?wsdl
to:
     http://clwlkd2:19080/.wowlink-services-router-http/services/IAlertPortTypePort/wsdl/v1/alert/services/wowlink/woolworths/com/au/AlertService.wsdl
Then when it attempts to resolve v1.alert.services.wowlink.woolworths.com.au.wsdl , it issues a request for:
     http://clwlkd2:19080/.wowlink-services-router-http/services/ v1.alert.services.wowlink.woolworths.com.au.wsdl
instead issuing a request for:
     http://clwlkd2:19080/.wowlink-services-router-http/services/IAlertPortTypePort/wsdl/v1/alert/services/wowlink/woolworths/com/au/v1.alert.services.wowlink.woolworths.com.au.wsdl
which is where the resource actually is.
Did someone see this redirection issue before?

IPTC extended metadata panel in Bridge CS5

Hi, hope someone can help me here.
I am working in a museum digitizing paintings and using Bridge CS 5 to enter the metadata. IPTC extended is ideal for that, but I can not access the metadata panel to the side. I have found it in the preferences (and did all the clicking and customization) but it still does not display. I assumed that because there were preferences it must be accessible but I am not finding that to be the case. I have accessed it through the info panel in Photoshop but I don't want to have to open every image just to add this stuff, why can't I access it through Bridge?
As a note, I have also downloaded the panel update from IPTC for earlier versions, but I don't have access to those versions at work, just CS 5, so that won't work as a workaround. The site says CS 5 is ready to go out of the box.
Can I access the extended metadata panel in Lightroom? Am I just missing something? Please help.
Thanks.
Miles

Miles:
As Rich Wagner pointed out, the IPTC Extended is not accessible via the Metadata panel within Adobe Bridge for CS5. I would hope that this is only a temporary situation, but have no inside knowledge as to when this might occur.
Use of the Metadata Templates is one way to add "batch" metadata that is only available in the IPTC Extended metadata schema.
Another option you might want to check is the IPTC-PLUS toolkit.
http://www.iptc.org/goto/?iptcplustoolkitadobecs
This is a java driven separate dialogue that can be applied to one or more images from within Bridge and includes all of the fields within the IPTC Core, IPTC Extension and PLUS metadata schemas. You can download the IPTC-PLUS toolkit from the link above. A users guide with full instructions on how to use the various fields as well as how to install are included in the download package.
BTW, John Nack blogged about this option back in July. http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2010/07/iptc-plus-toolkit-extends-bridge-guides-photographers .html
Hope that helps.

IPTC Core metadata fields lost with PNGs

Hi there,
I have a TIF file which contains data in the IPTC core fields. Converting the TIF to a JPEG will retain most of the fields and can be viewed still in Adobe Bridge.
However, converting to a PNG will lose all of the data. The only way it seems to retain metadata is to set options on the Save to Web options in Photoshop, which doesn't really work too good with a 100mb TIF being converted.
Resampling to PNG in ImageMagick and then reading in Bridge has the same issue, even though 8BIN and IPTC profiles are actually embedded into the file.
Does Bridge support IPTC core metadata for PNG files?
Many thanks!

They've confirmed the same thing i've found, that Save For Web actually preserves a chunk of the IPTC core data, but this isn't really any good for the quality of image I need to save.
It's strange how the XMP preserve option isn't available for a standard PNG save.

MetaData import from Photoshop CS2 Bridge to Lightroom??

Dear all,
I have 2 questions.
1) I am trying to figure out whether Metadata import from Bridge to LR will be supported?
2) I am not satisfied with Bridge as a Data Asset Management tool and due to an urgent project have to organize all of my >250 Giga data. ASAP. Any suggestions for a workaround until LR is released for purchase?
Thanks in advance,
Siana

1. Yes
2. Can't help with that, sorry.

Do search engines make use of IPTC Core metadata?

I'm using Bridge to organise a large group of maps (the maps are JPEG images), which will be published on my organisation's website. These maps are about niche topics and very specific areas of the UK.
I'm wondering if there are any SEO benefits from adding IPTC Core metadata to these map images using Bridge? Does anyone know if search engines use the meta?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Thanks for the replies. Yes, I'm talking about whether Google etc. pay any attention to the meta in the images.
My map images are exported from the source map application as JPEGs.
I'm not using a batch 'Save for web' in Photoshop, as the map images aren't designed for viewing in web pages - I'm just putting the maps up on the web to quickly share them for re-use by other people.
In Bridge, I can quickly add the basic meta (copyright notice, addresses, rights usage terms, etc.) by selecting all the JPEGs and then do the title and description individually. Just wondering if it's worth the effort?

Update location metadata in photos

I'm concerned about the base location metadata that the new mac photos app is pulling in.
The information is often recorded wrong at the source. Photos from Facebook seem to have the location of the server. Photos taken from different cameras/phones have different settings and thus get sorted into different "batches". The GPS can also be wrong by a few feet, moving the photo's location to a different address than it really was taken at.
All of this was easy to fix in iPhoto but seems to be impossible in Photos. Is this going to be in an update or has anyone tried a third-party?
Thanks,
Robert

Hi
Thanks for your reply. Please find my answers below:
1. Have your config your ODI_SDK, ODI_JDBC_DRIVER_JAR. Whether or not the path is correct.
Yes, my paths are correct. I verified it by running it with incorrect paths and it would error out specifying that say "ODI_SDK" not found etc. Only if all my paths are correct it would error out at this level. Also if you see it clearly mentions "Loading ODI repository configuration complete." above.
2. Have you fully install ODI ,because some of jars didn't in the path you config in the metadata-import.bat.
Yes, I have installed ODI and I did a few sample regular DB to DB loads to validate that. Only after this I tried installing the KM.
3. Have you installed some software change the ODI SDK or odi jdbc driver jar.
No
4. This version metadata import tools only use for ODI 11g, because new version ODI has change its sdk, it didn't support ODI 12c right now.
I used ODI 11.1.1.1.7 which is certified for this KM downloaded from edelivery. I am aware 12C is not certified.
5. Did your use RCU to create the ODI master and supervisor.
yes, I used RCU 11.1.1.1.7 to create repositories.
Also, I tried doing this in two isolated environments - one on linux and one on windows. Both gave exactly the same error.
Please help. And let me know if you need any further information.
Thanks in advance.
