CoreData Best Practices

I'd like some advice on the best way to use CoreData in various situations. I'm trying to create a BibTeX manager. The problem I'm facing is that BibTeX allows user defined fields and multiple authors. The obvious way to handle this is to store multiple authors as an NSArray of NSStrings and the user defined fields in an NSDictionary. However, these type aren't available as attributes in CoreData. The best way I can think of to overcome this is to serialize dictionaries and arrays and store them as data attributes. This doesn't seem to be a solution and I wondered if anyone else had a better one.

Thanks,
~Jim
