Metadata for graphic arts workflow – XMP metadata for image and document proofing
ISO 19445 specifies the set of XMP metadata to be used to communicate the approval status, proof preparation and viewing parameters for images and documents that are used in the graphic arts print production workflow.
The standard is based on the soft-proofing ticket defined by the Ghent Workgroup. It extends the ticket to include metadata required for the image preparation stage of the workflow. The intent of this metadata is to track approvals, proof preparation, and viewing conditions during the approval. To achieve this, the approver is identified along with the document’s output conditions, the software used for the approval and various details of the device’s configuration.
