it would be possible to use RDF metadata, but please note that the 
implementation in Writer is a bit incomplete - e.g. copy/paste of 
content with metadata will typically paste something without metadata.

this page is still an up-to-date description of the status:

see also ODF 1.2 part 1, "4.2 RDF Metadata" and ODF 1.2 part 3, "3.6 
Metadata".
