Re: Status of XMP Support

[Larry Ewing <lewing novell com>]

I implemented basic IPTC/photoshop resource parsers early this week and
I'm working on XMP now.  My current plan is to use SemWeb as an rdf/xml
parser and Statement store for all the metadata, then add sink/source
interfaces to the various other metadata parsers and generate XMP RDF
statements from them.  

If someone wants to start working on a display/editing dialog that uses
a SemWeb.StatementStore as a backend that could speed things up
considerably.  Remeber that since XMP likes to use bags and sequences
any frontend will need to support them properly.
