Nick Burch commented on TIKA-1639:
----------------------------------
Generally we like to ensure that metadata is consistent between file formats,
so that end users can have generic code not needing to worry about which exact
format or parser they're dealing with, and also consistent between versions of
Tika or the parser libraries/programs. As such, I do think that we need the
mapping somewhere, be that code or config.
> Add EXIFTool as an ExternalParser

> Key: TIKA-1639
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1639
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: parser
> Reporter: Chris A. Mattmann
> Assignee: Chris A. Mattmann
> Fix For: 1.9

>
> EXIFTool is a great Perl tool to extract metadata from tons of different
> media formats, in particular video, audio and images:
> http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
> Now that ExternalParser works, it's fairly easy to support this.
> EXIFTool can be installed on Mac with:
> {noformat}
> $ brew install exiftool
> {noformat}
> On CentOS Linux, you can do:
> {noformat}
> $ sudo yum install perl-Image-ExifTool
> {noformat}
