Indexing Licenses in Tracker Summary

Status Format Extraction Method Test content
Done, GStreamer patch pending MP3 Reading native tags already complete. Maybe extend GStreamer extractor to read XMP. XMP embedded with Exempi / Tags embedded with id3v2
In progress Vorbis Extend the GStreamer extractor to check for the presence of an XMP comment field. GStreamer places this within the EXTENDED_COMMENTS tag (requires GStreamer 0.10.10). XMP embedded with vorbiscomment
Done, GStreamer patch pending FLAC Native tags already extracted through the GStreamer extractor. Maybe extend GStreamer extractor to read XMP. embedded with id3v2 or metaflac
In progress JPEG Extend the Imagemagick extractor, using 'convert file.jpg xmp:-' to read XMP XMP embedded with Exempi
Done TIFF Extend the Imagemagick extractor, using 'convert file.tif xmp:-' to read XMP XMP embedded with Exempi (Note: there's a bug in Adobe's XMP SDK that prevents Exempi from embedding valid XMP)
Done/td> PNG Extend the PNG extractor, adding a check for XML:com:adobe:xmp. (For backwards compatibility, the ability to read iTXt in libpng is disabled by default until version 1.3.) XMP embedded with Exempi
In progress GIF Would need to write a GIF extractor Palimpsest
Done PDF Extend the current PDF extractor (which uses Poppler) to read the metadata field. XMP embedded with Exempi
Done HTML Write a new HTML extractor, using libxml2, and scan for RDFa Various actual sites, including creativecommons.org
In progress SVG I could specifically parse the XML, checking for the RDF schema used by Inkscape. Should I check for XMP also??? Inkscape
Any XML Write a generic XML extractor (and/or extractor for each particular format), scanning with libxml2
Awaiting spec OpenOffice.org (OASIS) Extend OASIS extractor OO.org Add-In
Done MS Office (old format) Extend existing msoffice extractor MSOffice Add-in
