The user-defined meta data in "properties" changed (much for the better) in 
Open Office version 3.1.  A couple of comments:

1. Don't know if it has been logged as an issue yet, but the "date" data type 
doesn't work properly.  It error checks the date format, but if that is 
correct, it takes the field off the list!
2. There is also a "time" datatype in the ODF spec., but not implemented.
3. There are 20 or so fields in a drop down box.  If you want to use GRDDL* 
you'll have to a) take spaces out of the name and b) include a namespace with 
the dot notation:  e.g. "Checked By" would have to be typed in as 
"ODF.Checked_By", with a link to "schema.ODF".

* there might be no reason for GRDDL.  I've only tested it with spread sheets, 
but this transform should work for *.odt, etc.  It's an export filter from 
(flat) ODF to RDF/XML.  It uses the OASIS namespace as a default.  (Warning: 
Don't modify it to work on the ODF file, just the meta.xml component plus two 
attributes from office:documents gives 295 triples! see: 
http://www.rustprivacy.org/odf/sstest.zip ).

The transform is :  http://www.rustprivacy.org/odf/ODSmeta2RDFXML.xsl

(the name is case sensitive, download it if you like and change the name)
