DCMI Public Comment on "Expressing Dublin Core metadata using RDF"

There is a discussion now in DCMI on clarifying legacy
issues with the expression of Dublin Core metadata in RDF.
An initial public comment period will end officially on 27
June but discussion will surely continue beyond that date
and any input would be much appreciated.

The best way to participate is by joining the dc-architecture
mailing list [1].
