Topic: metadata in image files

This question is from a researcher: Does Dataverse maintains any of the embedded metadata in image files?

No, but I like the idea. You mean EXIF data, for example, right? Or geolocation? (I'm not sure if one contains the other.)

Currently Dataverse extracts metadata from these formats:

• tabular files: https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.10.1/user/dataset-management.html#tabular-data-files
• FITS (Astronomy format): https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.10.1/user/dataset-management.html#astronomy-fits
• NetCDF/HDF5: https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.10.1/user/dataset-management.html#netcdf-and-hdf5

But not images, sorry. Please feel free to open a feature request! :smile:
