perhaps dreaming, but... :)
How about adding a tab structure/frameset that toggles between Wiki editing of
the page and a metadata view. Using Dublin Core's core elements, it makes it
easy to create a flexible form. The form consist of a toolbar containing a save
button and three dropdowns for the 3 DC categories (Content, Intellectual
Property, Instantiation). The *.dcxml file is used to populate the form if it
exists. If new or adding an element, the user selects from the dropdown and
JavaScript writes a new row containing that metadata item. Save puts it in the
central location.

All metadata is stored in one location. Pages can live anywhere. Metadata is
transformed into a documentation site 'index' or perhaps it creates a site based
on the dc:Subject. The rdfDescription/@about links/is-fed the described
resource. If someone would like to add documentation they add the metadata to
the central location.
