Dublin Core Standard (document properties, metadata)

Description
http://dublincore.org/
Dublin Core is used for document properties. The Dublin Core standard is
used by OpenOffice.org, Abiword and Gnumeric (not sure about Gnumeric
exactly).
I intend to add it to the Dia file format and use it in various places.
The first place i intend to add it is in the Sheet files as it will be the
easiest.
I also plan to add it to the ordinary Dia files and then Add a Properties
Dialog in the (Document) File menu.
I have some ideas about adding some dublin core to the shape files but that
is a very low priority.
Currently the sheets contain information similar to this
which we could very easily turn this infromation into Dublin Core dc:creatorAlan Horkan</dc:creator> dc:date</dc:date> (date is specified in some specific standardised format
Dublin core does not specify a version tag, for this we might consider resuing the 'meta' namespace specified by OpenOffice.org but I will look into it later.
I have given plenty of thought to this.
These notes are only to give you a rought idea of what i am on about, I
will add more detail and what should be clear when i have done it.
