While Dublin Core might often be appropriate for *delivery* of common
metadata, it is not really intended for basic markup in your repository.
See an interesting thread here:
http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-cmf/2001-June/007434.html.
To learn more about the evolution and scope of the Dublin Core, see

This might be trying to simplify (or complicate) the problem, but
what about the Dublin Core element set? (See
http://www.dublincore.org/documents/dces/ for more information).
This simple schema is quite useful, its "standard", and the
information can be re-used in other types of processing
applications, such as RDF metadata extraction or even Topic
Maps.
Just an idea ...
