Access XMP Tags via General Metadata

Since the XMP standard identifies schema properties using string names rather than numbers, ImageGear also uses names to identify XMP properties. However, it uses numeric identifiers to differentiate between the kinds of entities, such as Description (schema), Array, Property, Qualifier, etc. All properties have ID = ImGearXMPTagIDs.Property, but differ by their names.

See XMP Non-Image Data Structure section for description of XMP metadata structure in ImageGear.
