As I learn about Fedora, I'm wondering where to store fields that I
want to search on.

For example, I'm storing downloaded web pages.  I store each page in a
Fedora object with two datastreams, one for the content of the page
itself and one for HTTP metadata such as the URL.

I want to retrieve a downloaded page by referencing its original URL.
I could add a "source" attribute to the DC datastream, or I could
create my own predicate and add it to the RELS-EXT datastream, then
find a page using Fedora's RISearch service.

Is either method preferable?  Or should I reserve the DC and RELS-EXT
datastreams for Fedora's own metadata and maintain my own separate
database of URLs?

Thanks,
-SS
