As asked, the question is not clear. Do you mean "How do I use Gimp to add or modify IPTC tags?" in which case the answer is "You can't. Use digiKam, exiv2, exiftool, or other program intended for reading, writing, and modifying IPTC tags (or the XML equivalents thereof). (What Gimp or a Gimp plugin can do continues to amaze me, if I'm wrong, someone speak up!)
Do you mean "Will Gimp preserve existing metadata when exporting an image?" in which case the answer is "It depends. Yes if jpeg or xcf, no if tiff, probably not for any other format." But probably the answer also depends on which version of Gimp you are running. I've heard rumors of not all metadata being preserved even upon export to jpeg. There might be plugins, depending on which version of Gimp you are running and what you want to accomplish. But Chris is right, some internet searching is always a good place to start. And some experimenting for yourself.
