How metadata is synced from Adobe bridge to AEM

[Sam205505050]

Our authors are creating assets and adding metadata (Keywords) in Adobe bridge and after they are uploading assets in AEM manually. We are not using connector between Bridge and AEM. I can see there are multiple Keywords added in Bridge but those are not reflecting in AEM upon asset upload. 

I followed this page - http://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/cq/current/dam/using_cq5_dam_increativeproduction.html

It says that Keywords will be mapped into AEM. But I do not see those metadata automatically extracted by AEM. When I see those image details property in Windows explorer then it does not show "Keywords" metadata either.

Question: AEM will extract those "Keywords"  XMP metadata automatically only when there is a connector between Bridge and AEM?

If you are not seeing Keywords in windows explorer that means metadata in not write back in asset. Hence AEM not able to extract.  Make sure you are importing asset properly from bridge [1] so that asset has all metadata.

If you are following the AEM documentation and getting different results, then there is a bug.

In this case - if it says that Keywords will be mapped into AEM  - but they are not - please open a ticket.

Regarding this mapping, I have a question.

While downloading an asset from bridge, metadata property 'Copyright' for asset is sent as String[] array type. (Once I uploaded this asset in DAM, I checked metadata properties and found property named as 'dc:rights' is set as String[] type in AEM for such assets, coming from photoshop.)

However AEM OOTB Copyright is defined as textfield String type: /libs/dam/content/schemaeditors/forms/default/items/tabs/items/tab2/items/col1/items/copyright

Is it a defect? dc:rights property's data type in both bridge and AEM should be either String type or String[] type, but in bridge it is defined as String[] and in AEM, it is String type. Which one is correct?

Thanks.
