As far as I can see, you can add all that you want to Zope 3 as a 
separate package of your own, and apply your new meta-data to existing 
content without needing to change other core or 3rd party implementations.

The Annotations system in Zope3 provides a place for you to store your 
metadata. The Adapters and Views parts of the component architecture let 
you add on features such as you require, either globally, or to only the 
content you want.


The Dublin Core proposal is about adding one view of meta-data as a 
built-in standard. However, there is no particular distinction between 
the DublinCore package and any package you might build.

With the CMF and Zope2, basic content types have Dublin Core attributes 
written into their classes. This is not the case with Zope3.
