[belated response]

That's an area I'd be interested (as someone required to use DC in my
professional work)  in pursuing.

Some groundwork has been done. See this Google search for "rel=schema.*"
on <http://dublincore.org>:

        <http://tinyurl.com/3x9mct>

and, since there is clearly a schema already in existence, a piece of
hidden metadata such as:

        <meta name="DC.publisher" content="Acme Inc.">

easily becomes publishable as:

        <span class="DC.publisher">Acme Inc.</span>

or, inside another microformat, say hCard:

        <span class="DC.publisher fn org">Acme Inc.</span>


Note also that Dublin Core provides a range of pre-existing
vocabularies, which might e re-usable (without the dc. prefix) where
names are needed for classes in other microformats. For example, the DC
type "sound" might be useful at the lowest level of hAudio
