I would go for a title that combines the normal link text and the 
DC.description (as, depending on verbosity settings, I think that 
certain screenreaders and user agents may only choose to announce the 
link text or the title - so having the link text in both places would be 
the belt and braces approach):

<a href="contact.html" title="Contact Us - contact information for xyz 
company">Contact Us</a>
