I think that RDFa provides the lowest barrier to entry. Using dcterms for publisher, creator, title, etc. is a good place to start, and if your collection (archival, library, museum) links to terms defined in LOD vocabulary systems (LCSH, Getty, LCNAF, whatever), output these URIs in the HTML interface and tag them in RDFa in such a way that they are semantically meaningful, e.g., <a href="http://vocab.getty.edu/aat/300028569" rel="dcterms:format">manuscripts (document genre)</a> It would be great if content management systems supported RDFa right out of the box, and perhaps they are all moving in this direction. But you don't need a content management system to do this. If you generate static HTML files for your finding aids from EAD files using XSLT, you can tweak your XSLT output to handle RDFa.
