How to add an expedition metadata template and keywords to images with Adobe Bridge

Open Bridge, in the folder structure to the left select the folder that needs a metadata file. Then, select one or more of the images in that folder (that should be tagged) in the content window in the middle of the Bridge screen.

From the toolbar on top, pick Tools/Create Metadata Template. The template that opens has that expeditions metadata. Change it to what is needed for the new expedition and save it.

Here are the metadata guidelines for Imaging Specialist:

a.     Creator: IODP

b.     Creator Email: publisher@iodp.tamu.edu

c.     Creator website: https://iodp.org/

d.     Description: (up to you if you want to put something here)

e.     Keywords: generic expedition keywords

f.     Photo credit: IODP name, IODP JRSO

g.     Copyright Notice: CC BY 4.0  (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

h.     Copyright Status: Public Domain

i.     Rights Usage Terms: Free with attribution

j.     On shore, we will add the updated caption to the Description area for the F&F photos only

Here are the metadata guidelines for contributors (scientists, techs):

a.     Creator: IODP

b.     Creator Email: publisher@iodp.tamu.edu

c.     Creator website: https://iodp.org/

d.     Description: (up to you if you want to put something here)

e.     Keywords: generic expedition keywords

f.     Photo credit: Contributor name & IODP

g.     Copyright Notice: CC BY 4.0  (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

h.     Copyright Status: Public Domain

Click one the images that need the new metadata, click Tools/Replace Metadata Template and pick the one that was just created. In the lower left corner the progress of assigning the metadata to the files is indicated.

 

To add keywords, use the keyword function in the right section of the Adobe Bridge screen. The keywords are listed in order of expeditions, staff, SIEM, etc. To add a keyword to an image, select the image, and check the checkbox next to the keyword.

Keywords for each image should at a minimum include the following:

1) photographer/credit from metadata template,
2)  SHIP LOCATION (e.g. Core Lab, Chemistry Lab, etc.)
3) ACTIVITY (e.g. Core Lab, Chemistry Lab, etc.)

Prior to add keywords check the following, very useful, documents:

Guidelines to determine Photo Credit:

  • Contributor photo is any photo NOT taken by the Imaging Specialist that is of general interest for Friends and Family or PR use. Photo Credit: Contributor Name & IODP.

  • Photos taken by IODP JRSO employees with IODP camera (if specifically asked them to take photos) - Photo Credit: i.e. Etienne Claassen, IODP JRSO.

  • If you don’t know who the photographer is, then Photo Credit just:  IODP JRSO.

  • Technical images, as MBIO, Close-ups and Thin Sections, among others. As all the photos that are technical in nature and will become part of the technical data. Photo Credit, If any, would simply be: IODP JRSO. Filename will be different.
