Re: metadata and Dublin Core

Dear Chris,

I see that I failed to forward the response of the TT WG to your
question (below)
as follows:

<quote>
Yes, Dublin Core vocabulary was carefully reviewed for possible use, and
the decision of the group was that the intended use was sufficiently
different to warrant adoption. This comment was also received during the
1st Last Call, the response to which was recorded at:
http://www.w3.org/2005/03/21/DFXPLastCallResponses.html#Issue9.

You may also note the recent thread [1] on this reflector with Al
Gilman, who had originally raised the same question during the 1st Last
Call of DFXP [2]. I believe that Al has agreed with our final conclusion
that:

"we found the analogy to SVG so compelling that we based these on that"

If you would, please indicate if these responses represent a
satisfactory conclusion
to your comment.

Regards,
Glenn

Hello public-tt,

 12.1 Element Vocabulary

Many (but not all) of the elements seem to have Dublin Core equivalents.
Was Dublin Core considered and rejected for this type of metadata?
