I would encourage to use structured metadata, and use as much as
possible web resources (URIs), possibly coming from controlled
vocabularies, rather than plain strings. I would suggest to use the RDF
model for representing the metadata. In your example, it could be
something like:
<rdf:Description
rdf:about="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._6_(Dvo%C5%99%C3%A1k)">
<dc:title>Symphony 6, II Adagio</dc:title>
<mo:composer rdf:resource="http://dbpedia.org/page/Dvo%C5%99%C3%A1k"/>
<mo:performer>
<mo:MusicArtist
rdf:resource="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Symphony_Orchestra"/>
</mo:performer>
</rdf:Description>
... using the Music Ontology [1] and wikipedia/dbpedia resources.
