In the current context, I'd say that the above is metadata, and below is content.

A lot of useful metadata about documents is data about the processes and pathways that derived the content, rather than a transformation of the content.

Blog apps seem to do this reasonably well when the content is generated or edited; so do mail clients.

Most other end user apps don't, and you use CVS/CMS systems/BibTeX+CiteSeer to add it. CiteSeer is a trust based community, and allows metadata based searches.

But how this is meant to scale to agents and OWL-WS I haven't a clue.
