Hello, Jon -- Should have added -- thanks for the pointer to JHOVE/JHOVE2 -- There are still some modules in JHOVE for which there is not yet one in JHOVE2 (though coming to a Bitbucker repository near you soon!!) and vice versa-- but for TIFF -- folks might prefer using the later code. Best,

Exiftool [1] and trusty ImageMagick [2] will work. With ImageMagick it is as easy as: convert image.tiff image.xmp Members of the Visual Resources Association (VRA) have been working on/with embedded metadata for a few years now. There may be something more to glean from the working group's
