[Esip-preserve] Provenance of screenshots used in documents

[Karl Benedict]

Another approach to tracking screenshot image metadata would be the
adoption of an embedded or sidecar metadata standard for the attributes
that you mention. An example of such a metadata standard is XMP (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Metadata_Platform).


Thanks,
Karl
