Author and license will be problematic, since that is not yet standardized, but
in Commons, we are now introducing classes that contain that type of info and
this is used by the Stockphoto gadget.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Stockphoto.js
For now however, such information will have to continue to be scraped from the
html descriptions.
AMW, does not scrape. It makes best guesses based on the categories that images
are in, but that really is not a foolproof system. And actually, based on
feedback stockphoto so far has gotten, might even be heavily objected to by the
Commons community. However what AMW does is a rather simple thing.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?callback=jsonp1287747638197&action=query&generator=search&gsrsearch=Gondizalves&gsrnamespace=6&gsrwhat=text&gsrlimit=30&gsroffset=0&prop=imageinfo%7Crevisions%7Ccategories&iiprop=url%7Cmime%7Csize%7Cmetadata&iiurlwidth=80&rvprop=content&format=json
This runs a jsonp callback with the results generated by a search for
Gondizalves in the File namespace. max 30 results. It gives for each results,
the imageinfo, revisions (wikicode of the description page) and categories that
said results are connected to.
Of the imageinfo, descriptionurl, fileurl, mime, size, dimensions and metadata
are provided, as well as links for 80px wide thumbnails (with dimension info).
As you can see, that part is the easy part. licenses and authors are the hard
part :D
