Re: How does F-spot handle metadata

[Anton Keks <anton azib net>]

I am currently also researching this topic because I have the idea on
implementing the online/offline storage support in F-Spot (anyone
interested in mentoring?)

It seems that F-Spot also uses the
Adobe's XMP format for storing keywords and description inside of JPEG
and PNG files. For parsing of XMP it uses the SemWeb RDF library.
XMP is what Adobe programs also support for such kind of metadata,
including licence info. I am currently looking on how Lightroom
reads/writes such data using VirtualBox :-)

Look
at XMP, it seems to be the way to go for licenses. Lightroom also
provides the possibility of attaching licenses in the import dialog.
F-Spot could use a similar design :-)

F-Spot writes to files using libexif. Which, in the future, will be replaced by libexiv2.

The idea is that their is a library called liblicense to read and write creative commons license data .What i would like to know is how does F-spot handle matadata especially syncing the metadata when F-spot image is uploaded to Flickr etc... Any suggestions on how to go about doing and researching for this project are also welcome.
