XMP allows for using properties which are not from namespaces controlled by Adobe, like Dublin Core or EXIF. The specification of mappings between these properties and the Media Annotations Working Group vocabulary does not entail any intellectual property relation between the maintainers of these properties, e.g. the Dublin Core Metadata Initative, and XMP.
