@dansup Hello. If you decide to add EXIF metadata support to #Pixelfed at some point in the future, please note that #Vernissage has introduced an ActivityPub extension for this, described here: https://joinvernissage.org/ns#exif.
Supporting the same extension across both platforms would be highly beneficial for users, who should remain the primary focus 😊.
@dansup @pfefferle Update on the topic: I’ve submitted the FEP. It’s good to do all of this officially in a way that everyone can benefit from. If you have any ideas or feedback on it, please write here: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/fep-ee3a-exif-metadata-support/8439
@mczachurski @pfefferle Nice work, Pixelfed is working on displaying EXIF data we've collected since 2019 with the exception of Location data, and will make it opt-in.
@mczachurski is there a need that the extra property is called "exifData" instead of simply "metadata".
Does it matter where the the information is coming from?
@mczachurski thank you, I did look for it just after I asked, sorry. I didn't pay enough attention to the FEP itself to see it was already mentioned there. :D
But outside of the fact that schema.org uses it for ImageObjects, is there a reason?
Personally to me it looks too restrictive. This kind of metadata in images and audio can come from multiple sources. Is using "EXIF" as a generic way to refer to all of them (IPTC, XMP, etc)OK?
@mczachurski @dansup nice! I like the use of PropertyValue!
will have a more detailed look later this week!
@mczachurski I am not @dansup and it is not about @pixelfed but I like the idea!
Maybe this is also in your interest https://github.com/Automattic/wordpress-activitypub/pull/2751
😊
@pfefferle @mczachurski @dansup @pixelfed Hopefully, users are prompted to select the specific EXIF data they want to share. It's easy to forget to sanitize photo EXIF and publicly announce the lat/lon of your home or other potentially-sensitive locations.
@eyeinthesky I can only speak for Vernissage. It is very clear and obvious to the user which metadata will be included.
@mczachurski @dansup have you submitted this as a FEP yet?
@liaizon No, I haven’t submitted it as a FEP yet. I actually wasn’t aware that extensions like this are supposed to be submitted as FEPs. Do you think it would make sense to submit it? If so, I’m happy to do that.
@mczachurski FEP=Fediverse Extension Protocol (or Proposals) where Fediverse mostly means ActivityPub and related microstandards that interact with AP and such so most definitely the right place for these sorts of initiatives
@mczachurski @liaizon that is exactly what FEPs are for!
I totally think you should submit one!
@pfefferle @mczachurski @liaizon Just wondering, are there any reason to not use https://schema.org/exifData ?
@aslakr The only good explanation is probably that I was blind when I did the research on this last year. This is definitely an area for improvement. Thanks for the information about it. 😊 @pfefferle @liaizon
@mczachurski @aslakr @pfefferle are you by any chance coming to FOSDEM at the end of the month? there is going to be A LOT of fedi devs all in one room
@pfefferle @liaizon Then I’ll do it in my spare time. Thanks 😊
