Summary description: Include "eXtensible Metadata Platform" data in pdflatex
License type: gpl

Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
The XMP (eXtensible Metadata platform) is a framework to add metadata to
digital material to enhance the workflow in publication. References are
given below, but the essenence is that the metadata is stored in an XML
file, and this XML stream is then embedded in the file to which it
applies.

New in this version is that the <?xpacket ?> tags are automatically added, 
which makes the whole package much more standards compliant. The 
package checks the xmp file to see if it is used on an older file to avoid 
double inclusion of the <?xpacket ?> tags (no changes to older sources are 
needed).
