Uraeus pointed out that the keywords added by svg_annotate don't show up in Inkscape.

It looks like svg_annotate is inserting the keywords correctly, more or less. (It doesn't add id numbers to the elements, but I'm fairly sure that's not required anyway.)

The problem appears to be that Inkscape is not reading the keyword info in. It's simple to check this:

• Start up a new drawing in inkscape
• Draw a circle or something
• Go to Document Properties > Metadata and type "asdf" for a keyword
• Save the file and exit inkscape
• cat the saved file and note that asdf is in the keywords section
• Load the file in Inkscape again
• Go to the Document Properties > Metadata page. No keywords shown.

I've submitted a bug report on the above.

This was actually noticed and fixed last week (with a different usage pattern). The upcoming 0.41 Inkscape release has the fix. I've marked the bug a duplicate of bug #1113316. It was actually only a display bug; Inkscape itself would load and save the keyword metadata, it just wouldn't show the keyword field in the GUI unless you typed one in -- which would then vanish later on. :)

As long as we're talking about OCAL and bugs, though, I should mention one I found with ... the upload tool, I guess? I've noticed that many of the SVGs in the package have "Publisher" set to "HASH(0x....)", which must be the result of some Perl processing on the metadata. For example:

$ curl -s http://openclipart.org/clipart//buildings/carnegie_library_building_01.svg | grep -2 HASH dc:publisher <Agent rdf:about="http://www.openclipart.org"> dc:titleHASH(0x872d240)</dc:title> </Agent> </dc:publisher>
