DIGITAL_IMAGE_GUID

static final Property DIGITAL_IMAGE_GUID
Globally unique identifier for the item. It is created and applied by the creator of the item at the time of its creation . This value shall not be changed after that time.

The identifier will probably be generated by the technical means of an imaging device or software and should be applied to the digital image file as early as possible in its life cycle. This identifier does not identify any pictured content, particularly in case of a scan of non- digital images, only this digital representation.

Any algorithm to create this identifier has to comply with the technical requirements to create a globally unique id. Any device creating digital images - e.g. still image cameras, video cameras, scanners - should create such an identifer right at the time of the creation of the digital data and add the id to the set of metadata without compromising performance. It is recommended that this image identifier allows identifying the device by which the image data and the GUID were created. IPTC's basic requirements for unique ids are: - It must be globally unique. Algorithms for this purpose exist. - It should identify the camera body. - It should identify each individual photo from this camera body. - It should identify the date and time of the creation of the picture. - It should be secured against tampering. This field should be implemented in a way to prove it has not been changed since its value has been applied. If the identifier has been created by the imaging device its type and brand can be found in the Exif/technical metadata.
