NewsML (www.newsml.org) has been initiated by news agencies and newspapers, but
I don't see any reason why it would not fit well with magazine articles also.
It gives you
- unique identifiers for news items (articles, pictures, video clips ...)
- management properties for news items (eg editorial status)
- administrative and descriptive metadata (including the creator shown in you
sample)
- relationships between news items (so you can link articles together, or
associate pictures to articles)
- sets of content components, in any format (so XHTML is usable as content
format)
- a way to package news items together
Documentation is available at:
http://www.newsml.org/pages/docu_main.php
NewsML is supported by lots of providers of editorial systems in the news
industry.
Also check the current work on NewsML 2, which aims at being simpler to use that
the first major version (www.iptc.org/dev).
