What about using tagging of sorts?

Say you have a paragraph:

<text:p xml:id="para-1">...</text:p>

You have some resource description for some Joseph:

<rdf:Description rdf:about="http://ex.net/people/Joseph-1";>
   <dc:description xml:lang="en">Some guy that lived somewhere in the  
1st century BC.</dc:description>
</rdf:Description>

So the question is how to associate the latter with the former.

Maybe just use a tag approach?

<x:Tag rdf:about="[some-uri]">
   <x:references rdf:resource="[some-uri-that-gets-bound-to-para-id]"/>
</x:Tag>

I dunno; just an idea.
