Subject: Re: [docbook-publishers] Groups - DocBook Publishers SC modified
Thanks, Dave. We are certainly planning to donate the rnc and rng for dc, dcterms, dcmitype back to dublincore.org. I would appreciate folks looking over those schemas as well to make sure I haven't modeled them incorrectly.

Norm expressed concerns about the semantically equivalent elements in the standard (dc:title, in particular) and the fact that dc:title might not be the same as db:title.
