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.

XMP Property

XMP Value Type
Text
XMP Category
External
Namespace URI
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.

Format
x.x.x
Example
plus:Version
>1.2.0plus:Version
Notes
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
Updated notes field to indicate revisions to the standard are made periodically and not necessarily every two years. (

Description
Constraints on the changing of the image file name, metadata or file type.
Comments
When metadata is deleted from an image file, the PLUS license metadata is lost, as is other information essential to the ability of the Licensee and other parties to determine the scope of the license. While revision or replacement of the Licensor's image file name may be necessary in certain situations, it is often possible to maintain the License ID as an element of the file name, while replacing other elements of the file name. If Licensor and Licensee agree to maintain a PLUS License ID within in the image file name, license information may be more easily recovered in the event of metadata loss. In certain situations the Licensor may require that the metadata and/or file type be maintained.

XMP Property

XMP Value Type
URL
XMP Category

Namespace URI
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.
