This is likely extending DC too far, especially for use in Fedora. If you need more descriptive metadata for your Fedora objects, you'll likely do better having an additional datastream or set thereof for said metadata. For example, you could add datastreams for MODS, CDWA Lite, etc., as appropriate to your needs. Mark A. Matienzo Digital Archivist, Manuscripts and Archives Yale University Library
