@alttexthalloffame @pluralistic @Gargron @AltTextHealthCheck maybe, maybe not. Cory said this was about reusability within his own POSSE process, so it's really about whether the tools he uses as part of that process can populate Alt Text based on the EXIF ImageDescription, or could be modified to do so.

@lukethelibrarian @pluralistic @Gargron @AltTextHealthCheck @eric That makes sense! |
@alttexthalloffame @pluralistic @Gargron @AltTextHealthCheck also note that embedding alt text in EXIF data is far from a panacea for reusability of images. @eric captured some really important considerations at https://ericwbailey.website/published/thoughts-on-embedding-alternative-text-metadata-into-images/ - but he's mostly looking at the reuse of alt text between different users/contexts.
Cory's POSSE use-case is different: he's reusing/syndicating images across platforms, but all tied back to a single publication/context.
