digital image copyright metadata and the interweb

is there an emerging standard dealing with copyright information for digital images on websites?

is it only embedding copyright info in EXIF data or is there a snazzy microformat that deals with it?

i'd like to be able to deliver images with varying copyright info to a webpage from a database (images stored in directories, metadata stored in the database). in xml i understand the methodology as its whatever schema i would develop but xml is out of the question for the project at hand unfortunately XHTML only.

ideally something as easy as adding a <img src='http://…' copyright='blah blah ©2007' /> would do but validators choke on it as proprietary code. and i dont really want to be bolting on xml schema to the doctype just for this

any thoughts or revelations?

    just out of interest ihc, while on the subject if exif - what app do you use to edit the exif data (if any)?

    i set geolocation using an app that if you open google earth and navigate to where the photograph was taken from and drag the photo on it - it embeds the lat and long

    for everything else i use graphic converter at the minute - but only because i havent really looked for any others.
