Thierry,

A colleague recently directed me to [1].  I'm pleased to see the use of RDF,
but noticed several anachronisms and inconsistencies with the current
Semantic Web specs:

The rdfs namespace should be http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#, per [2].

The dc namespace should be http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/, as in [3].

The about, ID, and resource attributes should be rdf:about, rdf:ID, and
rdf:resource, per [4].

Property names should preferably be lowerCamelCase rather than
UpperCamelCase.

It would be preferable if smilmetadata:Duration used xsd:duration PT60S
rather than "60 secs".

LevelAccessibilityGuidelines should presumably have a namespace prefix.

Thanks!

	Mike
