| Description | XMP (Extensible Metadata Platform) is a file format that enables the embedding of metadata within digital assets, such as images, audio files, and documents. Developed by Adobe Systems in 2001, XMP provides a universal method for describing metadata across various file types and platforms. |
| Technical details | XMP data is typically embedded in the header section of a file and includes information such as title, description, keywords, copyright, and creator. This data is stored in XML format and can be accessed and edited by compatible software applications. XMP is commonly used to add metadata to various types of files, including JPEG, TIFF, PDF, WAV, and MP3, allowing for the creation of a standardized and easily searchable metadata database for digital assets. Furthermore, XMP supports multiple languages, making it a versatile format for managing metadata across different types of content and regions. |
