Information about exif can be found at http://www.exif.org.

Thumbnails can't be 'extracted', as far as I know ... you have to create
your own smaller sized version of the image.   I'm not sure you could do
it easily in RPG, although I suspect there are a number of C libraries
you could investigate porting that should be easy enough to call or bind.
