Yes - a good choice of forum.

  <dc:creator
rdf:resource="http://v2.13thparallel.com/people/dp/info.xml">Daniel
Pupius</dc:creator>

The object of the dc:creator triple should either be the string "Daniel
Pupius" or the resource identifed by the URI, it cannot be both.

You could have two dc:creator triples one with the string as object, one
with the URI as object.

e.g.
  <dc:creator rdf:resource="http://v2.13thparallel.com/people/dp/info.xml"/>
  <dc:creator>Daniel Pupius</dc:creator>

This is indicative of a striping error, see

http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-syntax-grammar/#section-Syntax-node-property-elemen
ts

for discussion of striping.

Not a helpful error message, I'll try and fix it.
In fact, this looks like a problem to do with the parser error recovery from
the error on line 34

The elements tag like:
  <section>
are nevertheless namespace qualified because of the empty namespace
declaration:
   xmlns="http://13thparallel.com/schema/v2-page-desc/"

However, attribute declaration like:
  <action command="popup" linktype="inline">
are not namespace qualified (see XML Namespaces).

An approach is to have
  xmlns:p13="http://13thparallel.com/schema/v2-page-desc/"

and then
   <action p13:command="popup" p13:linktype="inline">
