Here's a couple of possibilities:
- the Dublin Core (DC), or some sub-set.  DC been quite widely accepted (eg: Zope).
- keys to support version control and CVS integration. (I'm not a CVS expert so this might be off the wall.)

Something like this might be integrated nicely with docutils and other automation tools.
