[http://www.adobe.com/products/xmp XMP] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Metadata_Platform 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.

Creative Commons is recommending XMP as the preferred format for embedded metadata, given its [http://web.archive.org/web/20070426051136/http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/xmptoolkit/#FAQ support for numerous file formats] and the balkanized state of embedded metadata standards. Others are coming to a similar conclusion; Microsoft has announced support for [http://blogs.msdn.com/pix/archive/2006/08/23/715340.aspx XMP in Vista applications] and Jon Udell [http://blog.jonudell.net/2007/02/14/truth-files-microformats-and-xmp/ notes] "There’s also good support in .NET Framework 3.0 for reading and writing XMP metadata." Note that even when embedded with XMP metadata, Creative Commons recommends a licensed document include a visible copyright notice; [[Marking|format-specific recommendations]] for visible notices are available.

The Creative Commons [http://www.creativecommons.org/license/ licensing process] offers a XMP template which may be used to mark files within XMP-supporting [[XMP help for Adobe applications|Adobe applications (step-by-step how-to document)]]. An [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Adobe_Metadata_Panel XMP FileInfo panel] is also available.

== Specifying License Information ==

XMP [http://www.adobe.com/devnet/xmp/ defines] a rights management schema (see XMP Specification, p. 42). Creative Commons sets the following properties (example values):

* '''xmpRights:Marked''' — ''False'' if Public Domain, ''True'' otherwise.
* '''xmpRights:WebStatement''' — ''http://example.com/pdf-metadata.html'' (Replace with URL containing metadata about the XMP-embedded file; this is referred to as the [[WebStatement|Web Statement]].)
* '''xmpRights:UsageTerms''' — An optional field describing legal terms of use; Creative Commons recommends that when present this take the form ''This work is licensed to the public under the Creative Commons AttributionShareAlike license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/bysa/2.0/ verify at http://example.com/pdfmetadata.html'' (Replace URL following 'verify at' with URL containing metadata about the XMP-embedded file; this is typically the URL specified by '''xmpRights:WebStatement'''.)
''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; this is typically the same URL specified by '''xmpRights:WebStatement'''.)

We also define a Creative Commons schema ''http://creativecommons.org/ns#'' whose common prefix is cc. It currently has the following properties:

* '''license''' — The license URL; for example, ''http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/''.
* '''morePermissions''' — A URL where additional permissions (commercial licensing, etc) are available.
* '''attributionURL''' — The URL to use when attributing this work.
* '''attributionName''' — The creator's preferred name to use when attributing this work.

== Verification Links and XMP ==

A publisher can add boost confidence in embedded metadata by providing a '''verifying web statement'''. A verifying web statement is a URL which contains metadata with assertions matching those embedded in the file. The difference is that instead of making the assertions about a URL, the assertions are made in reference to the SHA-1 hash of the file.

For example, the example web statement <code>http://example.com/pdf-metadata.html</code> would include metadata encoded as [[RDFa]].

<code><pre>
<p>The document example.pdf is licensed under a
<a about="urn:sha1:MSMBC5VEUDLTC26UT5W7GZBAKZHCY2MD" rel="license"
href="http://creativecommons.org/license/by/3.0/">
Creative Commons Attribution 3.0</a> license.
</a>
</p>
</pre></code>

When processing a file containing an embedded web statement, an application can retrieve the statement and parse it for additional metadata. If matching assertions are found which apply to the calculated SHA-1 hash of the file, the application can display an indicator noting increased confidence in the metadata. This approach has the added benefit of taking advantage of an existing mechanism (copyright take-down procedures) in order to break the confidence in the case of inappropriately licensed material.

John Bishop: /* Beyond single files: Creative Commons File Info Panel */

[[Category:Technology]]
[[Category:Developer]]
[[Category:XMP]]
[[Category:metadata]]
You are here because you want to use an Adobe application like Photoshop to mark files as re-usable under a Creative Commons license.

Many Adobe applications support embedding [[XMP]] metadata in files, most notably PDF documents. The Creative Commons [http://www.creativecommons.org/license/ licensing process] offers an [[XMP]] template which may be used to mark documents with Creative Commons license information.

Note that a licensed PDF document should include a visible copyright notice as described in [[HOWTO Tag HTML pages|how to tag works]] in addition to embedded metadata.

{{Infobox|Only Photoshop CS has been well tested. Problems have been reported getting Acrobat 6.0 to select downloaded XMP templates. Acrobat 5.0 does not support a UI for embedding XMP. Photoshop CS can embed XMP in PDFs via its [[#multiple|file browser]].}}

= How to tag a single file =

== Step 1: Choose a license ==

Click on "choose license" on most pages at creativecommons.org to visit the [http://www.creativecommons.org/license/ license selection application].

== Step 2: Create an XMP template ==

In order to mark you work you need an XMP template. You can create this using a text editor. Use the following text, replacing '''LICENSE_URL''', '''YOUR_NAME''' and '''LICENSE_NAME''' with the appropriate values.

For example, if a user chose [http://staging.creativecommons.org/license/results-one?q_1=2&q_1=1&field_commercial=yes&field_derivatives=yes&field_jurisdiction=&field_format=&field_worktitle=&field_attribute_to_name=&field_attribute_to_url=&field_sourceurl=&field_morepermissionsurl=&lang=en_US&language=en_US&n_questions=3 Attribution 3.0] they would replace '''LICENSE_URL''' with <code>http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/</code>, '''LICENSE_NAME''' with <code>Attribution 3.0</code> and '''YOUR_NAME''' with the user's name.

<code><pre>
<?xpacket begin='' id=''?><x:xmpmeta xmlns:x='adobe:ns:meta/'>
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf='http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#'>

<rdf:Description rdf:about=''
xmlns:xapRights='http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/rights/'>
<xapRights:Marked>True</xapRights:Marked> </rdf:Description>

<rdf:Description rdf:about=''
xmlns:dc='http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/'>
<dc:rights>
<rdf:Alt>
<rdf:li xml:lang='x-default' >Copyright 2009, YOUR_NAME. Licensed to the public under Creative Commons LICENSE_NAME.</rdf:li>
</rdf:Alt>
</dc:rights>
</rdf:Description>

<rdf:Description rdf:about=''
xmlns:cc='http://creativecommons.org/ns#'>
<cc:license rdf:resource='LICENSE_URL'/>
</rdf:Description>

</rdf:RDF>
</x:xmpmeta><?xpacket end='r'?>
</pre></code>

== Step 2a (Mac OS X): Save the file to the right folder ==

Under OS X save the file to

<blockquote><tt>/Users/{YOUR USERNAME}/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Metadata Templates</tt></blockquote>

where {YOUR USERNAME} is replaced with your OS X short username. You may have to manually create the 'Metadata Templates' directory before saving.

The filename needs to end with '''.XMP'''.

== Step 2a (Windows): Save the file to the right folder ==

In Windows, the file should go in this folder:
<blockquote>
<tt>
C:\Documents and Settings\<em>{YOUR USERNAME}</em>\Application Data\Adobe\XMP\Metadata Templates
</tt>
</blockquote>

where {YOUR USERNAME} is replaced with your Windows username. The easiest way do this is to save the file to the desktop, and then to:

# Click on the Start Menu
# Click "Run..."
# Type Desktop\..\Application Data
# Click "OK"
# Open the "Adobe" folder inside there
# Open the "XMP" folder inside there, ''or create it'' if there is no XMP folder
# Open the "Metadata Templates" folder inside, ''or create it'' if there is no folder by that name
# Drag the XMP file you saved to your desktop to the folder that just opened
# Close the folder

You may have to create the "XMP" folder under "Adobe", and you may also have to create the "Metadata Templates" folder under "XMP".

The filename needs to end with '''.XMP'''.

== Step 3: Mark Document ==

Within your Adobe application open the metadata panel while editing a file you want to mark (File|File Info in Photoshop). Using the fly-out menu in the upper right corner of the panel, choose the template you saved.

http://www.creativecommons.org/images/metadata/xmp-adobe-panel.png

In Acrobat 6, go to Advanced | Document Metadata, select the Advanced panel on the left, then click on replace and select the xmp text file that you downloaded.

Creative Commons license information will appear in the Description panel.

== Step 4: Save and Publish ==

Save your file! If publishing on the web the page that links to your XMP-marked document should contain a license notice and metadata, which can be copied from the same licensing process.

= Tagging multiple files at once =

You can mark multiple files with the same license metadata using the file browser (File|Browse in Photoshop). Select the files you want to mark, then select the template you saved via the flyout menu in the metadata pane.

http://www.creativecommons.org/images/metadata/xmp-multiple.jpg

= Beyond single files: Creative Commons File Info Panel =

Copyright information is displayed in the standard Description panel (see screenshot above). This may be supplemented by the [[Adobe Metadata Panel]]. This optional panel displays the copyright information available via the Description panel as well as a pointer to this page for help and a License URL, which may differ from the Copyright Info URL (see [[XMP#advanced|advanced usage]]).

'''The implementation of the Abode Metadata (XMP FileInfo) panel has changed starting with CS4.'''
'''For Adobe CS4 and CS5, see below.'''

=Adobe CS3=
You can add a panel to Adobe Photoshop CS3 and other Adobe CS3 based [[XMP]]-compliant applications. This panel lets you choose a license from the convenience of the File Info box. Here's how:

== On Windows ==
Just run our setup program:
* [http://mirrors.creativecommons.org/adobe-panel/Setup.exe Click here to download the CS3 Creative Commons panel setup program.]

You may have to restart the application before it notices the new panel.

== On Mac ==
Simply download [http://mirrors.creativecommons.org/adobe-panel/CC-panel-installer.dmg our installer disk image] and run the installer package inside.

== More information ==
You can see:

* [http://cctools.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cctools/adobe_panel/trunk/ A browser showing you the history of our panel in Subversion]

=Adobe CS4 and CS5=
Adobe changed the implementation of the XMP FileInfo panels starting with it's CS4 suite. Beginning in CS4 the FileInfo dialog is a Flash based application built using Flex or Flash Builder. Installing the text-based CS3 version above will not work.

==Under development!==
CS4 and CS5 versions of a FileInfo panel for embedding a Creative Commons license are currently under development. This will be functional where ever the FileInfo XMP Flash application is exposed (ie. Photoshop, Illustrator, ...).

Support for the application based panels like those found in (for example) Bridge and Premiere Pro will also be included, as well as XMP presets.

As a [http://johnbishopimages.com photographer and web creative] I want to be able to protect my creations from being ripped off for commercial use yet allow other peer creatives the ability to use my images in their own creations - as long as I got credit for them. Creative Commons to the rescue.

I joined the Creative Commons in 2008 and have [http://johnbishopimages.com/blog/tag/creative-commons/ written extensively] about both the Creative Commons, Open Source and Open Directory as well as the GNU/GPL. Much of the functionality of my web site comes from Open Source or GNU/GPL [http://johnbishopimages.com/resources.php licensed materials].

Along this creative journey my interest in licensing, copyright, copyleft, and other licensing and protection schemes has grown. As a photographer (my web site is just a vehicle for that expression) I have an interested in understanding how embedded meta-data is used to protect creatives and their creations.

This has lead me to examine standards like the [http://dublincore.org Dublin Core Metadata Initiative], the [http://iptc.org/cms/site/ International Press Telecommunications Council], the [http://useplus.org Picture Licensing Usage System] (aka PLUS) and the [http://creativecommons.org Creative Commons] as sources of licensing and protection schemes.

Dublin Core and IPTC meta-data is exposed in Adobe's Creative Suite programs (most significantly Photoshop and Bridge) as well as Photoshop Lightroom.

Currently PLUS is only available in Photoshop Lightroom and CC is only available for CS3 based programs.

I have started development of XMP FileInfo dialog Creative Commons panel for CS4 and CS5.

John Bishop:

As a photographer and web creative I wanted to be able to protect by creations yet allow others to use my images as long as I got credit for them. Creative Commons to the rescue.

I joined the Creative Commons in 2008 and have [http://johnbishopimages.com/blog/tag/creative-commons/ written extensively] about both the Creative Commons, Open Source and Open Directory as well as the GNU/GPL. Much of the functionality of my web site comes from Open Source or GNU/GPL [http://johnbishopimages.com/resources.php licensed materials].

As my journey has progressed my interest in licensing, copyright, copyleft, and other protection schemes has grown. As a photographer (my web site is just a vehicle for that expression) I have an interested in understanding how embedded meta-data is used to protect creatives and their creations.

This has lead me to examine standards like the [http://dublincore.org Dublin Core Metadata Initiative], the [http://iptc.org/cms/site/ International Press Telecommunications Council], the [http://useplus.org Picture Licensing Usage System] (aka PLUS) and the [http://creativecommons.org Creative Commons] as sources of licensing and protecting schemes.

Dublin Core and IPTC meta-data is exposed in Adobe's Creative Suite programs (most significantly Photoshop and Bridge) as well as Photoshop Lightroom.

Currently PLUS is only available in Photoshop Lightroom and CC is only available for CS3 based programs.

I have started development of XMP FileInfo dialog Creative Commons panel for CS4 and CS5. For further details please drop me a note at john_bishop [at] johnbishopimages.com

'''The implementation of the XMP FileInfo dialog has changed starting with CS4.'''

'''For Adobe CS4 and CS5, see below.'''

=Adobe CS3 Suite=
You can add a panel to Adobe Photoshop CS3 and other Adobe CS3 based [[XMP]]-compliant applications. This panel lets you choose a license from the convenience of the File Info box. Here's how:

== On Windows ==
Just run our setup program:
* [http://mirrors.creativecommons.org/adobe-panel/Setup.exe Click here to download the CS3 Creative Commons panel setup program.]

You may have to restart the application before it notices the new panel.

== On Mac ==
Simply download [http://mirrors.creativecommons.org/adobe-panel/CC-panel-installer.dmg our installer disk image] and run the installer package inside.

== More information ==
You can see:

* [http://cctools.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cctools/adobe_panel/trunk/ A browser showing you the history of our panel in Subversion]

=Adobe CS4 and CS5 Suite=
Adobe changed the implementation of XMP starting with it's CS4 suite. Beginning in CS4 the FileInfo dialog is a Flash based application built using Flex or Flash Builder. Installing the text-based CS3 version above will not work.

==Under development!==
CS4 and CS5 versions of a FileInfo panel for embedding a Creative Commons license is currently under development. This will be functional wherever the FileInfo XMP Flash application is exposed (ie. Photoshop, Illustrator, ...). It will not support the application based panels like those found in (for example) Bridge, Premiere Pro or Lightroom.
