Use a Description List (Definition List in HTML 4.01) element.
From the HTML5 spec:
The dl element represents an association list consisting of zero or more name-value groups (a description list).

Within a single dl element, there should not be more than one dt element for each name.
Name-value groups may be terms and definitions, metadata topics and values, questions and answers, or any other groups of name-value data.
Authorship and other article meta information fits perfectly into this key:value pair structure:
