Support for eXtensible Metadata Platform (XMP)


    Metadata is increasingly important in all types of publishing: when metadata is embedded in a file, publishing that file across print, the Web, eBooks and more can be automated more easily. Developed by Adobe, the eXtensible Metadata Platform (XMP) is an open XML framework that standardizes the creation, processing, and interchange of metadata across publishing workflows. By adding metadata in XMP, for example, keywords you add to your files can be indexed by Internet search engines, making your images more easily accessible online. Because the XMP standard is also supported by Photoshop CS, Acrobat 6.0 Professional, and InDesign CS, the metadata information you enter in your Illustrator files can be maintained wherever you take the file.
