And Bingo!!!! The big misconception.

Yes, Adobe puts out tools and SDKs that hand XMP and are
platfor-specific, but XMP itself is not. XMP is just RDF done in a
certain way, and thus is just as cross-platform as RDF and XML.

* XMP is basically just a specific dialect of RDF. One could say that
XMP is to RDF as XHTML is to XML.

* Adobe seem to have been quite careful to use existing open technology
and standards to create XMP.

* The XMP spec spells out how to use RDF to encorporate Dublin Core,
EXIF and all sorts of standard info.

* The XMP spec also spells out how to make something specific if the
need is not already covered.

XMP is your friend.
