Yes - there is know way you could have known the association without
further context. The association I made is regarding the poster (Owen
Ambur) and registries, given that Owen is a strong proponent of the
value of registries within the federal government.

Possibly - but since Dublin Core is not specific to Web content, but
rather incorporates Web aspects such as "URIs as identifiers", I wonder
if Owen's reference was more Web-centric.

Given that Owen is well-versed on Semantic Web concepts, I believe he
was speaking more generally concept-wise, without referring to specific
frameworks/formalisms.
