FHMWG Stage 1 Recommendations

Stage 1 of the Family History Metadata Working Group (FHMWG) standards process is the drafting of recommendations about the use of existing metadata tags for family history purposes.

  • The stage 1 recommendations were discussed and approved by the FHMWG and are believed to be final; they may be found in stage1.md.
  • A technical summary of that recommendations is in stage1-overview.md
  • A reference public-domain implementation using the Adobe XMP Toolkit can be found in the cpp-code repository

FHMWG has a larger mission, but this initial project is limited to the use of existing photo embedded metadata tags. See https://fhmwg.org/ for more about the FHMWG

Stage 2 and Beyond

The FHMWG interim board has determined that there should be a period of time in which the stage 1 recommendations are championed and disseminated before beginning to specify stage 2 recommendations. The stage 1 recommendation draft does contain some indication of known weaknesses in the recommendation that may be addressed in later stages, but a schedule for the beginning of stage 2 has not yet been announced.
