  This is a DCMI problem, for sure, but it is even more a RDF problem. 
  Please consider the fact that we today have tools available that makes it
  possible to create a RDF schema definition with a point and click user
  interface. How different namespaces will have appeared five years from now
  with title elements with basically the same semantics as a dc 1.1 title?
  
  The single most important problem for the semantic web initiative is to
  tackle semantic diversity.
