Hello, I am in the process of digitizing a physical archive. I have an online inventory that I would like to apply as meta-data to the images. Can I use the Bridge API to do that? Thank y ou!

We use a combination of AppleScript and a tool called ExifTool by Phil Harvey. ExifTool is a really powerful tool for reading and writing metadata. I could imagine a process where your SQL DB is called and programmatically uses ExifTool to write the metadata to the correct fields.

Karl, I believe that more detailed information is required. Specifically what do you mean exactly by “online inventory” and how do you intend to “apply” it? The more detailed overview, step by step and or sample data that you can supply the better.

Thank you Stephen. We have a MySQL database of metadata, which I'd like to apply via an API, ideally in Bridge. I have API developers ready to work if Bridge is the right platform.

Also, I would want to set this up over a network. It seems that Bridge won't retain meta-data on the asset level, unless each user re-indexes their Bridge folder, is that correct?
