The article is from somewhere last year, and I have searched the web quite desparately for the mentioned open-source tools for XMP (especially a java SDK to read, write and embed XMP data into different file-formats) - without any success. In the user-forum, everybody is looking for tools, but noone seems to have anything on their hands - even adobe only offers a c-based sdk (Which is a shame, as nearly all rdf-toolkits are java based.) I really wonder, if xmp is dead and\or limited to adobe, or if it still has chances to get off the ground...

  Any new updates on this? Not much going on with XMP as of now, at least according to Google. Pity, as it is atractive to a few large firms I know of.

  Brightech's MediaBeacon R3volution is a great digital asset manager that is Java based.

  
  It has taken full advantage of XMP making it easier to add and work with metadata.

  Yeah, Adobe doesn't seem to understand that they need to provide at least some Java tools or a Python wrapper to their C tools before any kind of grass roots popularity of XMP gets moving. I've heard that some people in Adobe do get this, but that they're losing the internal battles over the best way to promote XMP. It's too bad.
