If you want everything in that RDF, you're probably wanting to extract the XMP data. Have a look at exiv2: http://www.exiv2.org/

Basically:
 exiv2 -px <your_image>.tif
will dump what you want to stdout.

Howdy all,

I need to extract all the metadata from a few thousand images on a network
drive and put it into spreadsheet. Since the files are huge (each is
100MB+) and my connection isn't that fast, I strongly prefer to not move
them before working on them -- i.e. I'm using cygwin and/or windows.

Just eyeballing these things, I see the headers contain everything I need
in purty rdf. What's the best way to extract this? I thought tiffinfo would
do the trick, but it's just giving me technical info. Of course I can just
parse the files with perl but I'm thinking there just has to be a slicker
way to do this. What's my best option? Thanks,

kyle
