Dublin Core prefixes in OA

Dear all,
I had a brief conversation with Stephane Corlosquet who belongs to the RDFa
Working Group.

He pointed out that while we are absolutely free to pick our own prefix
definitions, we could consider of aligning them with the prefixes of the
RDFa core context: http://www.w3.org/2011/rdfa-context/rdfa-1.1

In particular, that would mean to map
dc = http://purl.org/dc/terms/
dc11 = http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/

It seems, the DC folks recommended those prefixes to the RDFa WG because
they want to slowly deprecate the old 1.1 elements.

It is probably not crucial but, in general, I think it is probably a good
idea to align our context with existing ones in the same ecosystem.

Best,
Paolo
