Well, as long as you have sane mapping between your RDF(ish) attributes and Atom elements, that should work just fine. If you want to upload via Atompub, it’s probably best to make the mapping two-way, so your collection-specific metadata is automatically created from the Atom Entry metadata when an upload comes in that way. As long as the mapping is good, things should be peachy. (Ie. make sure that the value domains of attributes mapped to each other are exactly equal. An important reason for Atom to define its own metadata elements rather than use Dublin Core was precisely this – that DC generally places fewer constraints on values than the WG wanted in Atom for interoperability reasons.)
