Best way to add metadata to nodes?

Question

When editing a node, in the properties dialog I've a "data" tab. This gets saved as

<key attr.name="description" attr.type="string" for="node" id="..."/>

in graphml.

I want to add arbitrary, maybe multiple key/values do a single node which I re-process in another software from the graphml.

Is there a separate way to add this to a node?

Or should I just (miss?)use the description field to throw at it my own format for key/value data?

You can add more fields to the "Data" section using "Edit"->"Manage Custom Properties". See Custom Properties for additional information.
