I've completed writing some code for processing collections of SVG files to validate their metadata (title, author, license). The code is packaged and released to CPAN:
http://search.cpan.org/~bryce/SVG-Metadata-0.01/
It includes the following:
SVG::Metadata - A module for parsing and accessing an SVG's metadata, including title, author, license, and keywords.
svg_validate - A script for scanning through a collection of SVG files and extracting ones with valid metadata. It also automatically generates png's for each (using inkscape) and metadata text files.
Bryce
The second release of SVG::Metadata is now available on CPAN:
http://search.cpan.org/~bryce/SVG-Metadata-0.02/
Changes include addition of cmdline arguments and POD documentation for svg_validate, and a README.

The third release of SVG::Metadata is now available on CPAN:
http://search.cpan.org/~bryce/SVG-Metadata-0.03/
The change for this release was provided by Kees Cook and includes switching from XML::Simple to XML::Twig, which provides better handling of namespaced XML.
The effect of this change is that the validator will accept a wider variety of RDF metadata. :-)

THe fourth release of SVG::Metadata is now available on CPAN:
http://search.cpan.org/~bryce/SVG-Metadata-0.04/
The only change for this release was the addition of a new routine 'to_rdf()' to generate the RDF for the file.

Since adding metadata to your SVG files is cumbersome, especially when you have a lot of files, I've written a script 'svg_annotate' to perform this work.
This script is now included within SVG::Metadata, and takes advantage of its data structure.
You can download it from CPAN, here:
http://search.cpan.org/~bryce/SVG-Metadata-0.05/
The README has instructions for installing it. Briefly:
$ perl Makefile.PL $ make $ su # make install
You will probably also need to install XML::Twig. You can also get this from CPAN and install it the same way as above:
http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/M/MI/MIROD/XML-Twig-3.15.tar.gz
Then, to use svg_annotate to add metadata to all files under directory 'my_art':
$ svg_annotate -a "My Name" my_art/
This will add metadata to any files that don't already have it, including setting the license to Public Domain and the title to "My Name - <filename>". (You can override this if you want; see the manual page for svg_annotate on CPAN).
Let me know if you run into issues.
