PLUS License Data Format: XMP Reference

PLUS Version 2.0.1

The PLUS License Data Format ("LDF") provides fields available for optional use in embedding and reading image license metadata in digital files and other documents. The LDF only contains information essential to the understanding of rights information related to a visual artwork. The LDF is exclusively dedicated to the communication of rights-related information, and does not include other information about an image, such as captions, which can and should be communicated using the IPTC Photo Metadata standard (which also includes a subset of the LDF fields). The LDF is now used by a broad range of licensors and licensees, worldwide. It is not expected that any user will necessarily make use of the full range of fields available in the LDF. Each user has full discretion in determining which fields will be used in that user's licensing workflow. The LDF is not a licensing interface, but is a metadata "schema" for communicating rights information for visual works. The LDF resides "under the hood" in a broad range of applications in digital asset management, imaging and licensing, allowing users to easily specify, access and read the rights information associated with a visual work. LDF metadata may also be specified and accessed via "file info" panels or "property" dialogs in common applications.

For Developers: Some LDF fields are meant to be subfields of parent structures and cannot be used as standalone fields. These must be implemented within parent structures, collections and fields in accordance with the LDF specification in order to ensure interoperability with applications capable of reading and writing LDF metadata.

A. Namespace

Namespace URI http://ns.useplus.org/ldf/xmp/1.0/
Namespace Prefix plus
Comments The use of the specified namespace-prefix is not mandatory but is highly recommended for interoperability. User interfaces showing PLUS fields must identify such fields as "PLUS" fields.

B. Properties

1. PLUS Version

XMP Property plus:Version
XMP Value Type Text
XMP Category External
Namespace URI http://ns.useplus.org/ldf/xmp/1.0/Version
Description The version number of the PLUS standards in place at the time of the transaction.
Comments In the event of a misunderstanding between the parties, PLUS Version provides a reference to the version of the PLUS standards that was in place at the time of the transaction. PLUS standards are updated periodically.
Cardinality 0..1
Format x.x.x
Example <plus:Version>1.2.0</plus:Version>
Notes
  1. Version is made up of three components: Major Version, Minor Version and Revision. Each of these is combined with periods to form a single version number (e.g. 1.2.3 means Major Version 1 Minor Version 2 Revision 3). A Major Version will be published periodically when the standards are reviewed. Minor Versions may be published between major versions when necessary and will require re-certification. Finally, "Revisions" are minor changes to the standards that do not require re-certification.
Revisions
  1. Updated notes field to indicate revisions to the standard are made periodically and not necessarily every two years. (V2.0.0, R1)

XMP Property plus:DataMining
XMP Value Type URL
XMP Category External
Namespace URI http://ns.useplus.org/ldf/xmp/1.0/DataMining
Description Data mining prohibition or permission, optionally with constraints.
Comments Regional laws applying to an asset may prohibit, constrain, or allow data mining for certain purposes (such as search indexing or research), and may overrule the value selected for this property. Similarly, the absence of a prohibition does not indicate that the asset owner grants permission for data mining or any other use of an asset. The prohibition "Prohibited except for search engine indexing" only permits data mining by search engines available to the public to identify the URL for an asset and its associated data (for the purpose of assisting the public in navigating to the URL for the asset), and prohibits all other uses, such as AI/ML training.

The PLUS "Other Constraints" property is human readable. The IPTC properties "Embedded Encoded Rights Expression" and "Linked Encoded Rights Expression" are machine readable.
