This is a bit off topic, but I find this iptc/xmp very confusing
sometimes. In Digikam they both show about the same fields (under
'edit all metadata'), but which one to use? Is one of them enough?<br>
It would be easier if everything could be done through the panel on
the right, instead of two places.<br>

This sounds all very reasonable and I agree with you totally.
<br>
Perhaps I can convince my client to stop using PersonInImage,
for future
<br>
sake :) That would solve my problem too.

Need to add something, I was a bit wrong when I wrote :
<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">As IPTC is an older standard, lists didn't
exist and the Person

in Image field is a single text field, not a variable length
array.

<br>
It's true that IPTC did exist before RDF formats, but
PersonInImage
<br>
isn't part of the IPTC core standard. It has been added as an
extension
<br>
and is encoded as Embedded IPTC into XMP. It's not in the Adobe
IPTC
<br>
part of images files but in the XMP part and encoded as a list
(rdf:Bag).
<br>
So, add/remove operations remain possible for software aware of
this.
<br>
<br>
But the system remains uneasy to manage, compared to structured
tags.
<br>
<br>
And the need for specialised tools to postprocess metadata in
order to
<br>
suit such or such client program needs (get such or such data here
and
<br>
write elsewhere) remains too...
<br>
