DNG metadata

Hi Andrey, I understood. So I can explain my workflow.
I use Adobe LC for photo management. All photos are in RAW DNG.
I have an addon for tagging stuff automatically, but not faces. Currently I use the LR face recognition to tag faces. After the adjustments I use the LR publishing service to push the photos (as jpeg) to my Synology Photos. In the past a was using also the Synology Photos face recognition tool. (the result (it was a tag with the name) was synced back to LR). The problem here, the quality was not so good and it was a lot of work to assign faces in the app.
My hope is now that tonfotos, which is great in tagging faces, can help me to support my workflow.
Maybe I have my raw files first tagged in tonfotos and somehow I need the result (maybe as a tag) available in LR. From there my workflow continues like described and finally I write all tags int he jpeg. Synology Photos is able to display and filter along these tags.
What do you think?

DieRipps I am not sure I totally understand the end goal here. It makes sense to me that in the end you are browsing your collection using Synology Photos. And if it can read embedded face tags from XMP as you say, then you can totally use Tonfotos for facail tagging, store results into metadata, and SP will pick that up, and you are all set for browsing your collection from the web.

However, I am not sure why you are trying to involve LR into facail recognition workflow, obviously it is not the best tool for that. It is great with RAW processing, but as far as I understand you can just ignore its facial recognition feature alltogether. Why not just doing RAW development in LR and then facial recognition in Tonfotos on developed photots? Why you try to pull facial tags back to LR? I guess I am missing some part of picture here, please comment.
