Hi Larry, Thanks for the outreach. Dublin Core has long been involved in the HTML/metadata discussions, and was one of the original sources of requirements for RDF. Can you suggest exactly which documents members of the DC community should most usefully be reviewing? > One thing to note that the current HTML5 specification > has removed the “profile” attribute of the “head” element, > which dc-html seems to use.

There has been talk here (DC-land) of moving towards more strongly recommending RDFa as a strategy for HTML-inline metadata. Currently XHTML is the only option there. If profile is taken away, that might force the migration to happen more hastily. Can you summarise the status of RDFa-in-HTML? cheers, Dan (in personal capacity, but I'll bounce this thread to the Advisory Board to make sure it gets other perspectives)
