What problem do you see?
I suggest you subclass your odf:Citation type from odf:Element.
I prefer have odf:element to possibly add further information about 
something that you are aware is an element by it's rdf:type not by 
checking for the existence of a certain property.

The namespace is already 
http://docs.oasis-open.org/opendocument/meta/package
If we might want to make the metadata concept reusable for other 
packages (Adobe, Microsoft ;-) as Rob suggested, we might use some 
independent namespace URL like
http://docs.oasis-open.org/meta/package and a prefix like "pkg". The 
local name is versatile and therefore technically irrelevant.
