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).

xmpincl – Include eXtensible Metadata Platform data in pdfLaTeX
The XMP (eXtensible Metadata platform) is a framework to add metadata to digital material to enhance the workflow in publication. The essence is that the metadata is stored in an XML file, and this XML stream is then embedded in the file to which it applies. How you create this XML file is up to you, but the author started investigating this because he wanted to embed licensing information in the files he created. The license the author chose is one of the Creative Commons licenses, and their web-site offers this information in a valid XML-file, suitable for direct inclusion.
