DNGstandardin
DNGstandardin is a fictional metadata standard proposed for the Digital Negative (DNG) file format to improve cross‑vendor interoperability and archival reliability in a speculative digital‑imaging ecosystem. In the imagined world where it is discussed, DNGstandardin defines a stable, versioned core metadata model that remains backward compatible across firmware updates and software applications, while permitting optional extensions for advanced workflows.

Status and reception: In fictional discussions, DNGstandardin is praised for potential interoperability but criticized for redundancy
