Looking for XMP schema relevant to scanned documents

I want to embed XMP metadata in a scanned document, I'm looking for any existing schema or standards or even existing practice by anybody.
Examples:
physical sheet number
side of page (front or back)
make & model of scanner
operator name
scan resolution (DPI)
paper size
pixel format
paper orientation
Doesn't have to be those exact things, anything relevant would be interesting.

Thanks for that link. Have to read it.
I tracked the current problem down to the fact, that Adobe Lightroom puts the usageTerms into an element, looking like
<xapRights:UsageTerms>
<rdf:Alt>
<rdf:li xml:lang="x-default">
...some text...</rdf:li>
</rdf:Alt>
</xapRights:UsageTerms>
while bibble Pro 5 puts it into an attribute like
<rdf:Description ... xmpRights:UsageTerms="..." ...>
Based on the descriptions about XMP I found so far it is impossible to tell which of both is correct (and where the element or attribute is allowed). Hope to find some answers in that document.

    I am looking for a (free, ideally) virus scan/check for my MacBook Pro -- any suggestions?

    Mac users often ask whether they should install "anti-virus" software. The answer usually given on ASC is "no." The answer is right, but it may give the wrong impression that there is no threat from what are loosely called "viruses." There  is a threat, and you need to educate yourself about it.
    1. This is a comment on what you should—and should not—do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to log in to it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it.
    The comment is long because the issue is complex. The key points are in sections 5, 6, and 10.
    OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
    2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect."
    The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
    The following caveats apply to XProtect:
    ☞ It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
    ☞ It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
    As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
    3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
    Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
    ☞ It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
    ☞ A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
    ☞ An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
    Apple has so far failed to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. These failures don't involve App Store products, however.
    For the reasons given, App Store products, and—to a lesser extent—other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
    4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
    5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. Malware is a problem of human behavior, and a technological fix is not going to solve it. Trusting software to protect you will only make you more vulnerable.
    The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the scam artists. If you're smarter than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know when you're leaving the safe harbor? Below are some warning signs of danger.
    Software from an untrustworthy source
    ☞ Software of any kind is distributed via BitTorrent, or Usenet, or on a website that also distributes pirated music or movies.
    ☞ Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, doesn't come directly from the developer’s website. Do not trust an alert from any website to update Flash, or your browser, or any other software.
    ☞ Rogue websites such as Softonic and CNET Download distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "installer."
    ☞ The software is advertised by means of spam or intrusive web ads. Any ad, on any site, that includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.
    Software that is plainly illegal or does something illegal
    ☞ High-priced commercial software such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."
    ☞ An application helps you to infringe copyright, for instance by circumventing the copy protection on commercial software, or saving streamed media for reuse without permission.
    Conditional or unsolicited offers from strangers
    ☞ A telephone caller or a web page tells you that you have a “virus” and offers to help you remove it. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
    ☞ A web site offers free content such as video or music, but to use it you must install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one.
    ☞ You win a prize in a contest you never entered.
    ☞ Someone on a message board such as this one is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of his choosing.
    ☞ A "FREE WI-FI !!!" network advertises itself in a public place such as an airport, but is not provided by the management.
    ☞ Anything online that you would expect to pay for is "free."
    Unexpected events
    ☞ A file is downloaded automatically when you visit a web page, with no other action on your part. Delete any such file without opening it.
    ☞ You open what you think is a document and get an alert that it's "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you should still delete any file that isn't what you expected it to be.
    ☞ An application does something you don't expect, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
    ☞ Software is attached to email that you didn't request, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
    I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will necessarily result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Any of the above scenarios should, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.
    6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
    Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
    Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it—not JavaScript—in your browsers.
    Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
    Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
    7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" (AV) or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they are all worse than useless. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store—nothing else.
    Why shouldn't you use commercial AV products?
    ☞ To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. This technique is a proven failure, as a major AV software vendor has admitted. Most attacks are "zero-day"—that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based AV does not defend against such attacks, and the enterprise IT industry is coming to the realization that traditional AV software is worthless.
    ☞ Its design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere. In order to meet that nonexistent threat, commercial AV software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
    ☞ By modifying the operating system, the software may also create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
    ☞ Most importantly, a false sense of security is dangerous.
    8. An AV product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject low-level code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
    An AV app is not needed, and cannot be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful, if at all, only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not really effective, because new Windows malware is emerging much faster than OS X malware.
    Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else. A malicious attachment in email is usually easy to recognize by the name alone. An actual example:
    London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe
    You don't need software to tell you that's a Windows trojan. Software may be able to tell you which trojan it is, but who cares? In practice, there's no reason to use recognition software unless an organizational policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in everyemail attachment until proven otherwise. Nevertheless, ClamXav or a similar product from the App Store may serve a purpose if it satisfies an ill-informed network administrator who says you must run some kind of AV application. It's free and it won't handicap the system.
    The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
    9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
    10. As a Mac user, you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither can you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. Navigating the Internet is like walking the streets of a big city. It's as safe or as dangerous as you choose to make it. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

  • How to look for a particular phrase in a document???

    Hey guys, I'm a little new at this thing... I need to figure out a way to make Java search through a document looking for instances of particular phrases, and replacing them with something else. For example, have it look for "A B C" and replace each such combination of words with "D E F". The search/replace needs to look for a few different phrases at once.

    String.replaceAll is a fine answer, but you are creating Strings left, right & center, tis best to use a StringBuilder/Buffer.
        private static void replaceAll( StringBuilder sb, String search, String replace ) {
         int index = sb.indexOf( search, 0 );
         while( index >= 0 ) {
             sb.replace( index, index+search.length(), replace );
             index = sb.indexOf( search, index );
        }

  • No XMP syntax definition? Looking for XMP DTD...

    Hi,
    I am trying to solve an incompatibility between two software products. One product writes images with an embedded XMP in an way that some other programs (including Photoshop) complain about beeing unable to read all information when opening these image files.
    I've tracked the problem down to the xmpRights:UsageTerms attribute, but was unable to find a hint wether the file is incorrect (and a writer problem) or correct (and a reader problem).
    interestingly, there are Documents describing the meaning of XMP entries, such as Iptc4xmpCore_1.0-spec-XMPSchema_8.pdf or IPTC-PhotoMetadata(200907)_1.pdf , which describe the meaning of 'field names', e.g. they describe a UsageTerms as something containing free text describing how the news object can be legally used. But I did not find any precise description about wether this should be an XML attribute or element, and where it is syntactically allowed.
    It does not make sense to describe the meaning of a field name without declaring what sort of field it is and where it is allowed.
    Where would I find a DTD or similar precise syntax description?

    Thanks for that link. Have to read it.
    I tracked the current problem down to the fact, that Adobe Lightroom puts the usageTerms into an element, looking like
    <xapRights:UsageTerms>
    <rdf:Alt>
    <rdf:li xml:lang="x-default">
    ...some text...</rdf:li>
    </rdf:Alt>
    </xapRights:UsageTerms>
    while bibble Pro 5 puts it into an attribute like
    <rdf:Description ... xmpRights:UsageTerms="..." ...>
    Based on the descriptions about XMP I found so far it is impossible to tell which of both is correct (and where the element or attribute is allowed). Hope to find some answers in that document.

  • Looking for Idoc / BAPI to create measurement document in PM IK11

    Hi All
    I am working on interface development wherein I need to use a BAPI or IDOC or combination of both to create measurement document in PM.
    Do you guys know how can we do it easier way. Is it that I can post idoc directly or need to post it using a BAPI.
    I am trying to avoid any BDC or CT for this purpose. Please guide on how to do that.
    Amol

    I don't find them listed in the BOR, but look at function modules named like: BAPI_MP*.
    You might be able to utilize these for both the measurement point and the measurement document.  At another assignment, I had a situation with IDOCs that could call up to 12 BDC/CT sessions, etc.  I wrote a function module that was triggered by the inbound IDOC start process, and I utilized BDC and CT to do the IK01, IK11, etc.  Using a BAPI would have been better, but the code was really pretty simple for the measurement stuff, since the transactions are simple and easily recorded.

  • Looking for Pixma plus 35mm slide scanning!

    Hello.
    I used to have a Canon Pixma printer with a 35mm scanning facility built in to the lid. Broke down some time ago, unfortunately.
    And now Canon don't do Pixma printers with 35mm scanning.
    Been scouring the internet for an MG8250 or equivalent, with no luck. I don't WANT to change from Pixma. I think it's possibly the best colour print system you can buy, but I do need that 35mm slide scanning facility, so any suggestions as to an alternative product, i.e. a good quality colour printer (plus copier plus flatbed scanner plus 35mm slide scanner), offering similar print quality as the Pixma?
    I suppose one alternative is to buy a stand-alone 35mm neg scanner, but I also have a number of ancient (1890s) large b&w negatives so a 35mm-only carrier wouldn't do - I need something where I can use bits of tape etc. to hold odd-sized films.
    Thanks for reading, and I hope someone has a suggestion or two.
    Allen.

    Aside from looking at the pretty transitions, did you read
    the rest of the
    page? See the part where it says "Step 1 - copy and
    paste....."
    Then do Step 2. It just can't get any easier than that.
    Read the bit underneath step 2 and it tells you how the
    script can be used
    multiple times on a page - Again - step 1: you give it a new
    name in the
    javascript file, and add the names and paths of the images
    for the
    consecutive slides you wish to display. Then, again, Step 2 -
    you call the
    slideshow somewhere on your page.
    Without sounding condescending, sit back, read the
    instructions again, and
    have a go at implementing them into your page.
    Upload your efforts, post a link to the page, and we'll be
    able to help you
    further if you need it.
    You can describe what you have, how you want it to work, but
    until we see a
    page live, its a bit hard to help further.
    Last resort, spring for a paid solution to do it all for you
    (which I highly
    recommend) -

  • Looking for a Multipurpose Laptop

    Mmkay, I have about four things that I would use a laptop for--that I use my desktop for now--that I would like to know what kind of qualitifications I'm looking for.
    1: Writing(General word documents)
    2: Playing music. Preferably in winamp, mp3s. Sometimes from youtube.
    3: Playing World of Warcraft.
    4: Surfing the web, most typically on webcomics and places like Deviantart.
    Can anyone help me out, here? I know alot of laptops are leaning towards superaffordable so specs as well as price quotes would be an awesome thing to have.
    and I fully plan to buy a USB mouse, I can't stand using a touchpad to play WoW.
    So, any ideas, anyone? ^-^;;

    $1100 is a decent PC budget. Let's set aside 10% for a wireless mouse and laptop bag.
    I think these models should get the job done..,..
    HP HDX 16-1375DX-- Plenty of power, at the expense of battery life.  A handsome laptop, but you'll have to be on top of the fingerprints.
    Asus G51VX-RX05-- Another heavy hitter, but the looks will take some getting used to.
    Sony VGN-NW150J/S-- This bad boy is packin' Blu-Ray. If you like movies, it worth a look.
    Dell X1340-024B-- I have a soft spot for this one. It's a little thing, that packs a punch.

  • Scanned document missing pages

    Have three (3) w/s, two (2) with Acrobat 8 Pro (8.1.2) and one (1) with Acrobat 7 Std (7.0.9) running in Win XPsp2 on Dell Optiplex 745s. One (1) 8.1.2 machine and the 7.0.9 machine have IE7 installed, the other 8.1.2 machine had IE6sp1 installed. All machines have Sophos AV installed which is current and has not caused problems previously.
    A Fujitsu fi-5650c scanner is attached to each machine
    All three have been successfully scanning large documents (100+ pages) to PDF to locations on the network and the machine's HDD for some time. Today, scanning documents over five (5) pages frequently results in some pages in the resulting PDF document being blank. This is regardless of whether scanning to a network location or the local HDD.
    Only event in last week was user letting 2 of 3 machines install Windows updates,(auto updates have now been turned off), specifically KB945553, KB941693, KB948881, and KB948590. Significantly, whether or not the updates were installed, the problem persists. Removing the updates installed during the period has no effect. Acrobat updates are disabled and none have been installed for well over a week.
    Anyone have any thoughts??

    If you have a scanner, it usually comes with OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software. Use that to convert your scan to text and bring that back into Pages.

  • Need an app to edit and sign word documents (sign with stylus)! Notability let's me sign but doesn't pull up letter head, quickofficepro let's me edit but not sign. Looking for an app that does both

    I am looking for an app where I can edit word documents as well as sign them.  I am a physical therapist whose looking to cut down on paper work.  Someone types my evaluations and then we print them out for me to edit by hand and then they go back and make the corrections on the computer then w print them and sign them to send off.  Recently I have begun using apps where I can pull up the document and edit it thru quickofficepro or through cloudon, but I cannot sign them using a stylus pen.  I also have notability which I can use to sign the documents, but it doesn't save the document as a doc, it's either a PDF or rtf. Also, in notability, it doesn't pull up the letter head for our company which is a template with our logo on it.  So I need an app where I can both edit and sign my documents by hand using a stylus.  If someone could provide me with any relevant information I would greatly appreciate it.  Thank you for your time.

    Hi,
    Pages for Mac OS X, the topic discussed in this community won't do it.
    I think you'll have a better chance for a useful answer in either the Using iPad or the iPad in the Enterprise community.

  • Some comments on Adobe 'Custom Panels for XMP File Info' document

    In developing a couple of Photoshop/Bridge custom metadata panels for cataloguing my photo collection, I noticed one or two things that look like possible errors in the above document. These comments relate to the version of the document dated April 2005.
    P10, description of 'cat_container_edit_text' widget type: surely this should also list custom variable 'container_type', which is needed to specify whether the metadata array is a bag, seq or whatever.
    P25, details of 'cat_container_edit_text': same comment applies.
    P8 et seq: the requirements for use of the 'name' variable appear contradictory. The summary descriptions of various widgets such as 'edit_text' contain the statement that 'You must provide name, xmp_namespace and xmp_path values for this widget to supply a dynamic
    value', but the description of 'name' on P16 says that it 'Applies only to fixed-text widgets. Do not use this variable to change the value or text of the widget at run time.'

    Joe, here is the Adobe link that I could not find yesterday when I put up the link to the (suspect) archive site:
    http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/xmp/sdk/topic_cust_file_info_panels.html
    I have not looked into these panels for years and I am not sure what has changed in CS4.
    Yes, the free software mentioned previously was limited in the amount of fields, however correct me if I am wrong - the output was just XMP text data and one could simply open it in a text editor and copy/paste/edit extra fields and resave, as the limitation was with the GUI frontend and not with XMP.
    Obviously the computer reading the file needs the custom info panel installed to see the panel in it's full glory, otherwise the metadata is "hidden" away in one of the other metadata listings (I can't remember where). I also had problems picking up the custom metadata when searching via catalogue applications that could read other common metadata such as IPTC.
    It was a bit of a mixed bag if I recall, showing promise however it was not really ready for the average user to use.
    Anyway, it sounds as if my very limited knowlege on this area is being exhausted...
    While on the topic, some other links that may help:

    iView Media Pro software also had a custom panel for Photoshop that may also give you ideas.

    that is mapped between the information in the DB(Oracle) and the scanned copy.
    There is a search UI where the user will be able to search through the drawings.When user clicks on search, the information from the oracle DB is searched and based on the common file number the scanned drawing is displayed in the search results.The drawing
    is displayed in tif format and  each drawings might run into multiple pages.
