InDesign CS2 XMP metadata is stored on a metadata object associated with the document. InCopy CS2 XMP metadata is stored on a metadata object associated with each story.

In InDesign the XMP metadata is stored on a metadata object associated with the document. However, in InCopy each story in the document has a separate instance of metadata which may be changed separately.
ErrorCode AppendMetaDataInDesign( IDocument* document, IDFile* theNewData )

cmdData->Set( document,theNewData,kTrue );
ErrorCode cmdErr = CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(appendCmd);

return cmdErr;
}


ErrorCode AppendMetaDataInCopy( ITextModel* story, IDFile* theNewData )
{
// get the metadata object's UID from this text model

InterfacePtr<IMetaData> iMetaData( ::GetDataBase(story),uidData->GetUID(),UseDefaultIID() );
