Re: [docbook-apps] ePub: meta information

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi,
On the DocBook side, the following reference to a page in the DocBook 4.2 
specification lists the DocBook equivalents for Dublin Core metadata 
elements:

http://www.docbook.org/specs/cs-docbook-docbook-4.2.html#d0e652

If you also need to use Dublin Core qualifiers, then there are attributes on 
those elements that cover most of the qualifiers listed in the original 
Dublin Core Qualifiers document.

You'd have to investigate how the epub stylesheet handles these.
