Subject: Alt-text from XMP metadata
No previous message | Next message →

Does anyone have a recommendation for which XMP data field to use for
automatically adding Alt-text tags? In Adobe InDesign, I have the choice of
using the XMP Headline, Description, or Title fields.

Have any other technologies or software standardized on any of these 3
fields?

Question for those with experience using XMP Metadata.

Are any of these XMP fields used for accessibility or other automated
features?

1. Headline.

2. Description.

3. Title.

Here's why I'm asking. Adobe InDesign, software that's used to lay out
publications, has the ability to extract data from these XMP fields and use
it as the Alt-Text on graphics.

I'm writing a best practices guide for graphic designers using InDesign and
I don't want to recommend an XMP field that conflicts with some other
process.

Thanks,
