Hi Farrukh The TIFF6 specification Appendix A only has a "TagName", which is similar to Exif 2.2's "FieldName". Other TIFF tag specifications (DNG, TIFFPM6, RFC 2301) also only give a name and a description. Maybe what we need is: Use TagInfo's "name" field for the name taken verbatim from those specs (eg. use "ImageWidth" instead of "Image Width") Add a "description" field to TagInfo with a long description (eg. "Image width, the number of columns in the image") What do you think?
