Hi all,

I have found this library on SF.net area :

http://libiptcdata.sourceforge.net/

This one :

- have an implementation witch have been based on libexif library, and use a 
similar syntax. It's will be easy to add IPTC method using current libkexif 
implementation.
- Support i18n like libexif (currently unsupported by exiv2 library 
http://home.arcor.de/ahuggel/exiv2 ).
- Is an active project.
- is in GPL.

I think that IPTC meta-data are importants for photograph, and we need to find 
a solution for next digiKam release

Questions :

--> this library is available on major linux dist ?
--> anybody is interressed to help to add iptc metada support on libkexif ?

Your viewpoints welcome...
