Description by paul:

Have the ability to assign "standard" metadata properties to article
fields.  For example, you can assign the property "Author" to the text
field used for the Author.  This gives us the ability to provide a
good search interface.

    After putting together the spec for metadata handling in LiveSupport,
I have a couple of recommendations:    1) Use NewsML where feasible,
with 'dumbing down' to Dublin Core  2) The DCMI website has a lot of
useful info, and good FAQs  3) Use schema and not DTDs. It's more
painful in the beginning, but much more powerful in the long run  4)
If necessary, write a table mapping Campsite-specific fields to
NewsML. I'm pretty confident that Campsite fields will map pretty well
to NewsML  5) Using NewsML natively will mean super-easy
interoperability with feeds like Reuters'
