Ever since Chaals introduced me to the concept three or four years ago,
I've been asking the same question.  All my web software design now
factors in either a specific field for EARL to live in or, a separate
metadata table for greater flexibility:

# start of SQL schema
docid bigint unsigned not null,   # the subject of the metadata
vocab int unsigned not null, # the vocabulary used, eg EARL,
    # defined elsewhere
primary key (docid,vocab),
metadata text;   # metadata as RDF, or whatever
# end of SQL schema

The above is just an example, similar to what I am using in the
light-weight, metadata-focused weblog software that I am writing.

Just because hardly anyone is using it does not mean to say that we
should not start.

Cheers

M
