Image::ExifTool::MIE is a Perl module to read/write MIE meta information. Features Below is very subjective score card comparing the features of a number of common file and meta information formats, and comparing them to MIE. The following features are rated for each format with a score of 0 to 10: 1) Extensible (can incorporate user-defined information). 2) Meaningful tag IDs (hint to meaning of unknown information). 3) Sequential read/write ability (streamable). 4) Hierarchical information structure. 5) Easy to implement reader/writer/editor. 6) Order of information well defined. 7) Large data lengths supported: >64kB (+5) and >4GB (+5). 8) Localized text strings. 9) Multiple documents in a single file. 10) Compact format doesnt squander disk space or bandwidth. 11) Compressed meta information supported. 12) Relocatable data elements (ie. no fixed offsets). 13) Binary meta information (+7) with variable byte order (+3). 14) Mandatory tags not required (an unecessary complication). 15) Append information to end of file without editing.

Other formats with reasonable scores are PDF, PNG and XMP, but each has significant weak points. What may be surprising is that TIFF, EXIF and IPTC rank so low. As well as scoring high in all these features, the MIE format has the unique ability to encapsulate any other type of file, and provides a non-invasive method of adding meta information to a file. The meta information is logically separated from the original file data, which is extremely important because meta information is routinely lost when files are edited. Also, the MIE format supports multiple files by simple concatenation, enabling all kinds of wonderful features such as linear databas.
