Hi,
I'm trying to do exactly the same right now. As I had my first look on 
DAM about 7 hours ago I'm not exactly sure if I really got it but have 
you had a look on the file class.tx_damdemo_sv1.php of the 
demo-extension, yet? I think the function processMeta is the right place 
to call your code. The meta-array given to this function as a parameter 
contains the iptc-data and thereby the keywords you are looking for.
