[Image-SIG] human readable IPTC field names?

[Jonah Bossewitch]

Hi,

ps - I apologize for x-posting this message, but image-sig looked like  
it has been inactive since 2001.

I am using the IptcImagePlugin to extract the IPTC tags from an image  
file.  I was able to successfully retrieve the tags from the image  
(thanks!), but the results are keyed off of cryptic tuples.

I found the lookup codes here -  
http://demo.imagefolio.com/demo/ImageFolio31_files/skins/cool_blue/ 
images/iptc.html, but I was wondering if these existed anywhere in the  
code.  Would it make sense to include a label lookup on these keys?   
Maybe as a dictionary or a properties file alongside the  
IptcImagePlugin?

I am not sure if these field names are standard, but named lookups off  
of keys would be much more readable

does such a lookup table exist?  Does it make sense to include with the  
IptcImagePlugin?  I would be willing to work on this if anyone was  
interested.

thanks,
Jonah
