My usage may not be conformant with Dublin Core, but that is due to
error on my part. What I am advocating is adoption of unqualified Dublin
Core metadata elements as the standard for meta data in Published
Subject Indicators. (Some of which will need to be required so it would
change the Dublin Core schema to that extent.)

(Note that keywords are not part of Dublin Core and I really should drop
that from future examples, although I think people can include other
metadata not required or suggested by the TC in Published Subject
Indicators.)

BTW, really like your suggestion of dc:subject and dc:type (to replace
my misuse of dc:description) in the other thread.

Hope you are having a great day!

Patrick
