that allows you to embed data about a file, into the file
itself. With XMP, desktop applications and back-end
publishing systems gain a common method for capturing,
sharing, and leveraging this valuable metadata — opening the
door for more efficient job processing, workflow automation,
and rights management, among many other possibilities. With
XMP, content creators gain an easy way to embed meaningful
information about their projects and providing industry
partners with standards-based building blocks to develop
optimized workflow solutions.
