--- Comment #6 from Tisza GergÅ‘ <[email protected]> ---
The reason for using the XMP naming schema is that the data extracted from the
templates is merged with the XMP data from the file. That way, if the file page
does not have an {{Information}} template but the file has a Credit EXIF field,
it can be displayed as the author.

In hindsight, that was not a good way of doing things - the XMP vocabulary is
not so great and translating it to the names used by [[commons:COM:MRD]] would
have been better.

The extmetadata API might soon be superseded by the structured data API though
(I am hoping to put up an RFC about that this week); I am not sure it is worth
breaking BC on an API that is going to be deprecated any minute.
