Another example if it's use is the RSS scraper used with the W3C home page: XHTML Profiles for http://www.w3.org/ http://www.w3.org/2000/08/w3c-synd/# > I have seen people who use XFN that used the xfn metadata profile > url as a value for the profile and i've seen people using Dublin > Core for meta tags en using the url of dublin core as value of > profile, but what if you use both of them? If you are doing HTML then as far as I can remember the spec says that profile="" takes a space seperated list so you can put both. I _think_ that the XHTML spec only allows one value for the profile="" attribute :-( > <link rel="schema.DC" href="http://purl.org/dc" /> > > What is the exact meaning/purpose of this link tag? It's explained in section 2.7 Namespace and profile considerations here: http://www.dublincore.org/documents/dcq-html/ Hope this helps...
