Term: XMP
- Definition:
Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) is a file format neutral specification (and proposed standard) developed by Adobe for embedding comprehensive metadata that is based on the RDF (Resource Description Framework) data model. With a basis on RDF, XMP inherently possesses many desirable characteristics for the representation and management of embedded metadata. Key characteristics include XML-based syntax and extensibility.
The Adobe XMP Whitepaper lists four elements of the XMP platform:
1. RDF Framework or expressing metadata from multiple schemas – XMP Framework
2. Schemas used to describe properties, contained in namespaces – XMP schemas
3. Method for embedding XML fragments in binary streams – XMP Packet Technology
5. Support for third party interface and extensions to XMP – XMP SDK- Category:
