For more information on what XMP is and what it does, read the XMP Wikipedia page:

The Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) is an ISO standard (ISO 16684-1), originally created by Adobe Systems Inc., for the creation, processing and interchange of standardized and custom metadata for digital documents and data sets. XMP standardizes a data model, a serialization format and core properties for the definition and processing of extensible metadata. It also provides guidelines for embedding XMP information into popular image, video and document file formats, such as JPEG and PDF, without breaking their readability by applications that do not support XMP. Therefore, the non-XMP metadata have to be reconciled with the XMP properties.

Technical documentation can be built with godoc . or, if your $GOPATH and repo structure is set up correctly, with something like godoc -http=:6060 & followed by browsing to http://localhost:6060/pkg/github.com/datatogether.

More information coming soon; in the meantime please feel free to file issues and to improve this README via pull requests.
