Get the program from GitHub: https://github.com/creativecommons/seneca/tree/master/cc-xmp-tag/perl
The script cc-xmp-tag.pl was written to easily read and write Creative-Commons-related XMP metadata from media files.
It's using the perl Image::ExifTool module, which means you need that installed on your system. On Debian derivatives you can install it like this:
apt-get install libimage-exiftool-perl
Usage examples
There are a couple of sample .jpg files in the repository next to cc-xmp-tag.pl: example-alltags.jpg and example-notags.jpg. You can use them for testing if you like.
These XMP tags are supported:
- AttributionName: the name of the author of the work.
- AttributionURL: the URL to the author's website. Ideally to a page specific to this particular work, or lacking that: another appropriate URL for the author.
- License: the URL pointing to the licence.
- Title: the title of the work.
- Marked: if this is true that means the work is not in the public domain. Set automatically when you write any other tags.
- UsageTerms: a human-readable note saying that a licence applies to this work. Set automatically when you write the Licence tag.
Reading XMP
Use a variation of cc-xmp-tag.pl --read filename with a list of tags you want to read.
