What is metadata?
Put simply, metadata is any data that describes the content or characteristics of
a file or other digital asset. You are probably already accustomed to viewing basic metadata through the "File
Info" or "Document Properties" Dialog found in many applications. You may also use an asset or
content-management system that captures some properties of the file or asset and displays them for you.
With an XMP-enabled application, information about a project can be captured during the
content-creation process and embedded within the file or digital asset and into a content-management system.
Meaningful descriptions and titles, searchable keywords, and up-to-date author and copyright
information can be captured in a format that is easily understood by you as well as by software
applications, hardware devices, and even file formats.
By providing a W3C-compliant way of tagging files with metadata across products from multiple
vendors, XMP is a powerful solution enabler. As an open-source technology, it is freely available
to developers, which means that the user community benefits from the innovations contributed by
developers worldwide. Furthermore, XMP is extensible, meaning that it can accommodate existing metadata schemas.
