In the method your form posts to, add a call to 'context.editMetadata()',
passing the values you want to set as keyword arguments.  See the
'metadata_edit' PythonScript in the 'content' skin.

You can define metadata policies for new elements on the 'portal_metadata'
tool.  In your case, I imagine you want to set up a controlled vocabulary
for it;  it should work just as the 'Subject' field does, perhaps with only
a single value allowed.
