Unless you have a good reason to do that in Gimp, the tool of choice is usually ExifTool, and i you want to write a Python shell script around it, you can use the PyExifTool module.

Thanks.  I am not quite sure what to make of this:  "But the 'data' is in XML format, so you have to use the Python XML library to alter it."

Would you please elaborate?

Thanks!
