The Extensible Metadata Platform is a specification describing RDF-based data and storage models for metadata about documents in any format. The specification includes information about embedding XMP in text files such as HTML and SVG/XML; image formats such as JPEG, TIFF, and GIF; and Adobe formats such as Illustrator, Photoshop, and Acrobat files. While its use of the RDF metadata format comes with some caveats, RDF enthusiasts should be pleased to see that the company making the most popular image manipulation tools has made those tools capable of reading and writing RDF metadata about these images. -

Metadata helps to describe the contents of a file. Basic metadata is often seen in the File Info or Document Properties box found in many software applications, eg. PhotoShop. Many asset management systems captures some metadata and display this to you. In modern operating systems, meta data is used to allow desktop searches. -

In 2001, Adobe published the specification for XMP, the eXtensible Metadata Platform. . . At first glance, this platform might not seem revolutionary. But, in fact, Adobe is attempting to fundamentally change the way we think about asset management processes in a creative environment. -

What is metadata? Put simply, it’s any data that describes the content or characteristics of a file. You are probably already accustomed to viewing basic metadata through the File Info or Document Properties box found in many applications. You may also use an asset- or content-management system that captures some file properties and displays them for you. | | | |

Creative Commons Metadata and XMP
Published 05/8/2006
Creative Commons Metadata and XMP XMP (Extensible Metadata Platform) facilitates embedding metadata in files using a subset of RDF. Most notably XMP supports embedding metadata in PDF and many image formats, though it is designed to support nearly any file type. The Creative Commons licensing process offers a XMP template which may be used to mark files within XMP-supporting Adobe applications (step-by-step how-to document). LaTeX users may use the pdflatex macro. Note on Visible Copyright Notice in PDFs Even when embedded with XMP metadata a licensed PDF document should include a visible copyright notice as described in how to tag works. XMP Rights Management Schema XMP defines a rights management schema (see section 4.2.5). Creative Commons sets the following properties (example values): - xapRights:Copyright
- This work is licensed to the public under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ (Replace 'Attribution-ShareAlike' and license URL with relevant pretty name and URL for chosen license.)
- xapRights:Marked
- False if Public Domain, True otherwise.
- xapRights:WebStatement
- http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ (Replace with relevant license URL.)
We also set cc:license for compatibility with other CC RDF applications and to maintain a direct reference to the license URL when xapRights:WebStatement references an intermediate page (see Advanced Usage below). - cc:license
- http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ (Replace with relevant license URL.)
Advanced Usage If a page with metadata describing the work with embedded XMP and its license status is available, the value of xapRights:Copyright and xapRights:WebStatement may be extended and modified as follows: - xapRights:Copyright
- This work is licensed to the public under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ verify at http://example.com/pdf-metadata.html (Replace URL following 'verify at' with URL containing metadata about the XMP-embedded file.)
- xapRights:WebStatement

Licensing
Published 05/8/2006
The eXtensible Metadata Platform or XMP is a specific type of extensible markup language used in PDF, photography and photo editing applications. It was first introduced by Adobe Systems in April 2001 as part of their Adobe Acrobat version 5.01 program. XMP is used in PDF and other graphics applications. It recognizes that a digital photo may go through multiple processing steps, from being photographed or scanned, through photo editing steps (such as cropping or color adjustment), to assembly into a final image. Thus XMP allows each software program or device along the way to add its own information to the digital photo, which is then retained in the final digital file. In a typical edited JPEG file, XMP information is typically included alongside exif and IPTC data. Licensing Adobe has a trademark on XMP, and retains control over the specification. They have released source code for the XMP SDK under a license called the ADOBE SYSTEMS INCORPORATED - OPEN SOURCE LICENSE. The compatibility of this license with the GNU Public License has been questioned. The license is not listed on the list maintained by the Open Source Initiative and is different from the licenses for most of their other Open source software. |
