NAME

Image::ExifTool::MWG - Metadata Working Group support

SYNOPSIS

    # enable MWG Composite tags
    use Image::ExifTool::MWG;
    Image::ExifTool::MWG::Load();

    # enable MWG strict mode
    $Image::ExifTool::MWG::strict = 1;

    # disable MWG strict mode
    $Image::ExifTool::MWG::strict = 0;

DESCRIPTION

The module contains Composite tag definitions which are designed to simplify implementation of the Metadata Working Group guidelines. These special Composite tags are enabled by calling the Load() method:

    use Image::ExifTool::MWG;
    Image::ExifTool::MWG::Load();

By default, loading the

Composite tags enables ``strict conformance'' unless previously enabled or disabled by the user. In this mode, ExifTool will generate a Warning instead of extracting and from non-standard locations. The strict mode may be disabled or enabled at any time by setting the ``strict'' flag to 0 or 1. eg)

    $Image::ExifTool::MWG::strict = 0;

This module also contains the

tags which are loaded automatically by ExifTool as required, and are independent of the Composite tags which must be loaded explicitly as described above.
