Though there was some recent hints that things are about to start moving again.
That's encouraging - what hints were you referring to? Anything in
public we can echo here?
FWIW, I've been working on the metadata stuff for ODF, and modeling
bibliographic data in RDF. The vocularies I used? DC, Qualified DC
(for relations mostly), and vCard, plus a handful of biblio-specific
properties (volume, issue, pages and such).
I really think we need an hDC and hDCQ. It's really not the
microformat tradition, it seems to me, to invent full standalone
formats.
I'm afraid I'm only slightly familiar with how DC elements are being
used. It seems like they're only being used (in HTML) now to describe
whole pages, not parts of pages.
I just read the DCQ page [1] about using DC terms in meta and link
elements in the HTML head element - that's where I'm getting this
from.
Are you suggesting a new design pattern for using dublin core elements
and qualifiers in all microformats? Or a specific microformat to cover
some particular cases when you'd use DC?
Thanks,
