This is work-in-progress software for extracting LOM metadata from an arbitrary document or URL. The perl script (exif.pl) can be used from the command-line, after installing the following prerequisites:

• LWP::UserAgent
• MIME::Base64
• MIME::Types
• File::Temp
• File::Spec
• XML::LibXML
• XML::LibXSLT
• Image::ExifTool

Note that you will also have to create the translation.xsl file, with the following command:

`xsltproc -o $@ to_xsl.xsl translations.xml`

The makefile specifies this, as well as some tests, based on a ExifTool source install.

On MacOSX, the script can be packaged into a droplet. Building the droplet requries the Platypus sofware (with the command-line tool installed.)
