ResourceSpace does this internally to extract metadata. I think it's as simple as 
 
exiftool -t -s imagefile.tif  metadatafile.tab
 
Does this do what you want?

Hello,

I need to take xmp metadata that is imbedded in tif images and pull it out into a tab delimited text file for ingest into our digital repository (CONTENTdm). Has anyone done this using exiftool or the like?

Thanks,
A
