Title: ns.exiftool.ca Namespaces
Post by: ricklevy21 on June 21, 2018, 04:05:26 PM

Are the URLs for the ns.exiftool.ca namespaces no longer valid? Were they ever?

When I use the -X option the output lists all of the namespaces, but none of the URLs work.

For example:

Code Select

xmlns:XMP-dc='http://ns.exiftool.ca/XMP/XMP-dc/1.0/'

Code Select

xmlns:XMP-dwc='http://ns.exiftool.ca/XMP/XMP-dwc/1.0/'

Code Select

xmlns:XMP-xmp='http://ns.exiftool.ca/XMP/XMP-xmp/1.0/'

Thanks,

Rick

Hi Rick,

Those aren't URL's, they are URI's. URI's don't necessarily point to a valid web page. Those URI's never existed as web pages (and most URI's don't).

Ah, yes of course. Thank you Phil. Are the resources/namespaces defined anywhere?

Hi Rick,

They are not defined anywhere, but the URI's are simply constructed from the family 0&1 group names of the tags:

http://ns.exiftool.ca/GROUP0/GROUP1/1.0/
