    摘要: An improved system and method for an extensible metadata architecture for digital images is provided. Executable software code may be operably coupled to a metadata query reader and a metadata query writer for requesting operations for manipulating metadata in an image file. The metadata query reader may be operably coupled to a decoder having a block reader for identifying metadata blocks in an image file and associating a metadata reader with each metadata block. Each metadata reader may then enumerate the metadata in the metadata block associated with that metadata reader. The metadata query writer may be operably coupled to an encoder having a block writer for associating a metadata writer with each metadata block to be written to an image file. Each metadata writer may then write metadata in the metadata block associated with that metadata writer.
