NAME
       svg_annotate - Adds RDF metadata to an SVG file.  This script scans
       files and directories for SVG files and if they lack embedded RDF
       metadata, inserts it.

SYNOPSIS
       svg_annotate [OPTIONS] [file1[, file2]] [subdir1[, subdir2...]]

        -V, --version     Displays version info for the script
        -h, --help        This help screen
        -D, --debug=N     Reports debugging info (1=sparse, 3=tons)
        -a, --author=s    Name of the author to use in the RDF
        -o, --owner=s     Name of the owner to use in the RDF
        -l, --license=s   License URL to use in the RDF
        -t, --title=s     Title string to use in the RDF
            --delete      Removes the RDF section(s) from the SVG file(s)

DESCRIPTION
       This script uses SVG::Metadata to annotate RDF metadata to one or more
       SVG files.  It checks to be sure the file does not already contain an
       RDF section (in which case it skips the file), and if not, places an
       RDF section at the end of the file, just before the closing </svg> tag.

       The purpose of this script is to enable artists with large collections
       of images to quickly and easily annotate entire trees of files with
       metadata.  The main aim of this is to assist the artists of the Open
       Clip Art Library (http://www.openclipart.org).

EXAMPLES
       Annotate all the items in or under the current directory, with da Vinci
       as the artist.  By default, license is Public Domain, and for
       'my_file.svg', title is set to "Leonardo da Vinci - my_file":

         svg_annotate -a 'Leonardo da Vinci' .

       Add RDF with specified author, license, and title for the SVG files in
       the current directory:

         svg_annotate *.svg \
            -a 'Leonardo da Vinci' \
            -l 'http://creativecommons.org/licenses/GPL/2.0/' \
            -t 'Mona Lisa (<FILENAME>)'

       svg_annotate allows several fill-ins to be used in the title field:

           <FILENAME>  - the full filename of the file
           <FILEBASE>  - the basename of the filename (the part before the extension)
           <FILEEXT>   - the extension of the filename (usually always svg)
           <DIR>       - the directory path to the file
           <AUTHOR>    - the name of the author of the file
           <OWNER>     - the name of the owner of the file
           <KEYWORDS>  - the keywords for the file
           <LOCALTIME> - the current date and time
           <GMTIME>    - the current date and time in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) format

       It is also possible to delete the RDF from one or more files, using the
       "--delete" flag.  For instance:

         svg_annotate --delete  *.svg

       This will work recursively into any directories specified on the
       commandline, working on any *.svg files it finds in the indicated
       directory tree.  E.g.:

         svg_annotate --delete  my_svg_files/

OPTIONS
       -V, --version
               Displays the version information about the script.

       -h, --help
               Prints a brief help message with option summary.

       -D N, --debug=N
               Prints debug messages.  This expects a numerical argument
               corresponding to the debug message verbosity.

       -a author, --author=author
               Specifies the name of the author to use for the RDF.  Remember
               to use quotes if you wish to specify a multi-word name.  E.g.,
               --author="Bryce W. Harrington".

       -o owner, --owner=owner
               The owner for the file.  Typically the same as the author.

       -k keyword0,keyword1,..., --keywords=keyword,...
               Sets the keyword(s) for the image.  This parameter can be used
               multiple times, such as:

                   svg_metadata apple.svg -k apple -k fruit -k food

               or can take comma delimited parameters, such as:

                   svg_metadata apple.svg --keywords=apple,fruit,food

       -l license, --license=license
               The license URL to use for the file.  See the Creative Common's
               site for typical licenses.  By default it uses the Public
               Domain license,
               --license="http://web.resource.org/cc/PublicDomain".

       -t title, --title=title
               The title to use for all the indicated files.  Note that
               several fill-in parameters are included, for a little dynamism
               (see DESCRIPTION, above).

       --delete
               Causes svg_annotate to operate in RDF-deletion mode.  Instead
               of adding RDF, the script will instead parse the SVG file and
               remove any metadata sections, as distinguished by the tags
               <rdf>, <rdf:RDF>, or <metadata>.

BUGS
       For licenses other than Public Domain, it screws up the Rights section.
