Anyone disagree? I don't think we can say either of these. It certainly isn't the first; but if we say the second, then the identifier is a collection, so its definitely not either of http://dublincore.org/ or http://purl.org/dc/ (neither of which are collections.) I think the best way to say it is that its means that the identifier is EITHER http://dublincore.org/ OR http://purl.org/dc/, but we don't know which it is.
