RE: DOCBOOK: Markup for personal names

[Peter Ring <pri@magnus.dk>]

While Dublin Core might often be appropriate for *delivery* of common
metadata, it is not really intended for basic markup in your repository.

See an interesting thread here:
http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-cmf/2001-June/007434.html.

To learn more about the evolution and scope of the Dublin Core, see

Kind regards
Peter Ring

This might be trying to simplify (or complicate) the problem, but 
what about the Dublin Core element set? (See 
http://www.dublincore.org/documents/dces/ for more information). 

This simple schema is quite useful, its "standard", and the 
information can be re-used in other types of processing 
applications, such as RDF metadata extraction or even Topic 
Maps. 

Just an idea ...
