Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) SVG is a language for describing two-dimensional graphics and graphical applications in XML. It supports placing metadata for the whole document and per object.

Implementations

Inkscape, an open source drawing tool
Open Clip Art Library, a public domain collection of user-submitted clip art
SVG::Metadata by Bryce Harrington is a PERL module for including metadata inside an SVG (used by Open Clip Art Library.

Examples

Here is the code that is in Inkscape's SVN repository for making the License and Metadata Dialogs possible. Please use them as examples for coding your own metadata and license selectors for use in SVG:

 [http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG Scalable Vector Graphics] (SVG) SVG is a language for describing two-dimensional graphics and graphical applications in XML. It supports placing metadata for the whole document and per object.
-== Developer Challenges ==
+== Implementations ==
-Develop software that embeds license and metadata into SVG files (XML-based). [[SVG]] (Scalable Vector Graphics) includes support for [http://www.w3.org/TR/smil20/metadata.html#edef-metadata RDF/XML metadata]. We need examples of including license metadata in SVG for the purposes of denoting that a file itself is published under a Creative Commons license or that individual components of the file are licensed. Even better if you can use dc:source to specify parent works. SVG has similar support for [http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/metadata.html RDF/XML metadata]. Read more about the motivation in this [http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/cc-metadata/2003-October/000185.html cc-metadata] post.
