We have discussed this before, a few times (though I lack the time or 
will to track down the emails). To me the minimal core set is actually 
very simple: name, comment, author(s) and date (of authorship).

Previously I suggested using the rdfs vocabulary plus bits of Dublin 
Corre for these but there was preference for use of Dublin Core. So my 
suggestion would be:

    dc:title        - rule name
    dc:description  - longer descriptive comments
    dc:creator      - author
    dc:date         - authorship date

Personally I want to also have rdfs:seeAlso as a route to referring to 
arbitrary other metadata documents on the web but that's not critical.
