== Timeline ==
 
−
 
−
Here's a conservative timeline.  I expect to get more done; as actual coding begins, I'll update this with more accurate estimates.
 
−
 
−
UPDATE:  It's going to be difficult to estimate progress of when I'll do what.  Patches are being sent upstream of various dependancies of Tracker.  Completion of indexing of particular formats varies as I await approval of patches and feedback from upstream, as well as Jamie's approval of patches into Tracker itself.  I'll be working on various aspects of the project in parallel as I await feedback/approval on a particular aspect.

By week 2: Write an XMP parser. Tracker includes examples of parsing XML using glib which I will also follow as a guide.  (Based on recommendations/specifications at http://wiki.creativecommons.org/XMP)
 
−
 
−
By week 4: Add support to Tracker to automatically read and index XMP sidecar files, which will take advantage of the XMP parser.  (Done by modifying src/trackerd/tracker-metadata.c)
 
−
 
−
By week 5: Once Tracker indexes the metadata of independent XMP sidecar files, I will go about extending the extractors of various formats to index embedded XMP metadata.  Again, the above XMP parser will be utilized.  Primary formats include HTML, SVG, and PDF.
 
−
 
−
By week 7: Write a parser for RDFa for relevant formats. (Based on recommendations/specifications at http://wiki.creativecommons.org/RDFa)
 
−
 
−
By week 9: Put the RDFa parser to use
 
−
 
−
By week 11: Additionally add support for new formats, such as SMIL and RSS. As time permits, I may also extract metadata from other image formats such as TIFF, PNG, and GIF (all of which could contain XMP metadata). Formats that take advantage of previously written code may take only a day, while others may take up to a week.

By week 12: Tie things up for submission of code

To fit Tracker's metadata structure, the extracted license claim would be placed into the File:License field in a form such as: "This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/)". Such a format allows for searching the license field by both license name and URL.

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
