One of things I really like about Tika is it is lightweight.
Agreed. In Tika I'd only use the namespace URIs as plain strings with no extra machinery around them. Another alternative that I like is forget the idea of explicit namespaces and simply use URIs as the metadata keys. This would be perfectly in line with Dublin Core and would work reasonably well also with RDF clients. As an added benefit we could adopt this approach by simply modifying a few constants.
