Hello,

probably, the answers I'm looking for are already somewhere in the forum but I've been not able to find then.

I'm building a DAM estructure which allows me to increase and ground healthy and without  "roofs", like Peter suggest in his book. BTW, great book, Peter Smiley
That estructure is extrapolable to any other kind of files management. It adds an extra value to the book.

There are some management errors I did before and I'm rectifiying now and want to do it well.


The first question is a very basic easy one.

- How should I keyword as usual workflow? with comas or without then?
I understand what happens when I use comas keywording but don't really know what should I do or the future troubles to do it in one or other manner can bring. In stock photo is always with comas but I'm not sure if that is a good practice for my personal use.

The second,

- there is some way to make sets of controlled vocabulary in different language to use it separatelly when you need it? To put it all together is an alphabetyc mess, a kind of Babel.
I'm thinking in something like to "duplicate" the document in which the contents of the keywords palette are, in Bridge for example.

Allow me to say that is the voice of ignorance who's talking here.
I'm talking as a user that has a need, i'm not thinking in the code difficulties because I don't even know if it is possible Smiley
Ask and maybe you will get!

I have read you talk about the possibilities to make many things editing XMP or XML but maybe what I'm saying is out of reallity or it is just closed code of Adobe Bridge.

Well, thanks!

Alejandria,
As to commas, there are two issues.  Use of commas in the entry software, and use of commas in the keyword phrase itself.  To my knowledge, the commas generally are used as an entry device, to tell the software that "these are separate keywords".  For instance, if you enter a comma in the Bridge File Info box, it is an instruction to Bridge to treat each word as an entirely separate keyword.

Some software will let you put a comma in a keyphrase, I suppose, but that would generally not be necessary.

As to the translation utility, I am not aware of any.  It does seem like it would be useful, and seems like it could be scripted.

Anybody else know of such a thing?

You might check over at controlledvocabulary.com and see if anyone there knows.
