As a variation, another option is to store the URI of the RDF metadata in
the file. You have (slightly) mroe chance of being able to embed a URI in
an existing file format than you have of embedding the entire RDF
description - and then the description is updatable without changing
the file itself.

Clever encoding technicques may be possible. Or even call the file
myFileName-myEncodingOfTheURLForTheRDF, assuming that you
have a system with sane filenamelength limits.
