If metadata does not contain XMP properties belonging to the Basic scheme, the method returns null.

If the metadata does not have Basic XMP properties, and you need to add such properties, create a new instance of the com.accusoft.imagegear.formats.xmp.basic.ImGearBasicXMPMetadata class, assign it using corresponding setter, and then add XMP properties using corresponding properties of the com.accusoft.imagegear.formats.xmp.basic.ImGearBasicXMPMetadata class.

If you need to remove Basic XMP schema properties from the metadata, set this value to null.
