Image::ExifTool::MWG - Metadata Working Group support

       The MWG module contains Composite tag definitions which are designed to simplify implementation of the
       Metadata Working Group guidelines.  These special MWG Composite tags are enabled by calling the Load()
       method:

           use Image::ExifTool::MWG;
           Image::ExifTool::MWG::Load();

       By default, loading the MWG Composite tags enables "strict MWG conformance" unless previously enabled or
       disabled by the user.  In this mode, ExifTool will generate a Warning instead of extracting EXIF, IPTC
       and XMP from non-standard locations.  The strict mode may be disabled or enabled at any time by setting
       the MWG "strict" flag to 0 or 1.  eg)

           $Image::ExifTool::MWG::strict = 0;

       This module also contains the MWG XMP tags which are loaded automatically by ExifTool as required, and
       are independent of the MWG Composite tags which must be loaded explicitly as described above.
