Re: PRISM data on the LOD cloud?

It's not actually 'hidden', as I'm sure you know. It's at a very public (and
ISO standardized) location. It's just not that accessible as the PDF spec is
rather complex. But there are also published heuristics for simply scanning
PDFs to get the most recent document XMP packet.

But Phil Harvey's excellent ExifTool [1] does a wonderful job of
reading/writing XMP packets to various file formats. Continuously maintained
(last version I see is from June 30, 2010) and available in .exe and .dmg
formats. Now if only RDF tools were so assiduously catered for. Ah well,
tomorrow is another day. :)
