Google has updated their image structured data properties and added support for credit, copyright, and image creator information under the ImageObject type. Previously, such information was taken from the IPTC photo metadata. The addition of these properties makes it easier to tell Google these information by adding it in the structured data.

The three new structured data properties are

  • “creditText
    Text that can be used to credit person(s) and/or organization(s) associated with a published Creative Work.
  • creator
    The creator/author of this CreativeWork. This is the same as the Author property for CreativeWork.
  • copyrightNotice
    Text of a notice appropriate for describing the copyright aspects of this Creative Work, ideally indicating the owner of the copyright for the Work.”

Google has also updated the examples to show how these three properties can be used in your structured data.
