Hi Dave,
I am embedding physical dimensions into the image files of the subject
depicted. I use the VRA Metadata Panel/Palette (we're going back and forth on
a relaunch name). With this tool, multiple dimensions can now be added for one
image file.
http://metadatadeluxe.pbworks.com/w/page
if anyone is embedding the physical dimensions of the subject of
their photographs as metadata in the image and if so:
1. what metadata standard(s) are you using, and
2. is this practice part of your imaging workflow or done ad-hoc?
Thanks,

Ordinarily, the subject keywords are in the background, not necessarily
viewable on the screen display for an object, but available for searching.

Museums don't always publish their subject cataloging to their websites.
Usually only select fields are exported from the collection management
