Re: [dita] Mentioning Dublin Core in the "Usage information" sections

Responding to Gershon's email asking whether it is possible to link to a table that maps the DITA elements to their Dublin Core equivalents, find attached an excerpt from a presentation I did a few years ago that directly addresses this. If the TC finds the info on the table + example code useful, please go ahead and use it however you want.

I suggest we remove it. How about an appendix or some other location with a table that maps the DITA elements to their equivalent DC elements, where relevant? This way if anyone is interested, that information is available, while our spec topics are clean and brief.

We briefly discused the mentions of Dublin Core in the metadata elements. Specifically, the "Usage information" sections in several element-reference topics mention what elements in Dublin Core are equivalent.

We did not come to a conclusion about removing or keeping this information. There was general acknowledgement that while Dublin Core was hot and trendy during the initial development of DITA, it is not so much anymore.

What do folks want to do here?
