RE: Dublin Core to IMS/LOM

Thanks John.

For those people interested, here is a sample conversion from DC embedded in
HTML, to DC in RDF/XML, to DC in IMS XML.

DC embedded in XHTML meta-data

<link rel="schema.DC" href="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" /> 
<meta name="DC.title" lang="en" content="The University of Birmingham" /> 
<meta name="DC.description" lang="en" content="The University of Birmingham,
UK home page, including links for prospective students, former students
(alumni), business and industry, and staff. There is also information on
research developments, about the University and Birmingham." /> 
<meta name="DC.date" scheme="W3CDTF" content="2003-09-02" /> 
<meta name="DC.format" content="text/html" /> 
<meta name="DC.format" content="13455 bytes" /> 
<meta name="DC.identifier" content="http://www.bham.ac.uk/" /> 
<meta name="DC.language" content="en-uk" /> 
<meta name="DC.rights" content="http://www.general.bham.ac.uk/legal/" />
