Question from Stefanie of whether we will ever be able to move to non-flat metadata. Example of dcterms.publisher and need to use URI, as specified in domain and range. If only providing a string, will need to use dc.publisher rather than dcterms.publisher. Bram suggests could store a URI but would need functionality of human lookup name for that URI, for display. These values would not necessarily reside in the metadata but in some other index. Maureen suggests need to supercede and maybe replace the old mappings-- more current mapping would indicate that both DCTERMS and DC ship with DSpace. Do need to address the mapping document.
Bram asks about QDC in the DC community. Stefanie reports that most projects use DCTERMS alongside DC. Did some work on application profile for RDF representation, published this year, using DC, DCTERMS, and terms from other vocabularies, like VIVO, to describe objects. Use of MARC relator code and URIs for qualified contributors. References user guide: http://wiki.dublincore.org/index.php/User_Guide
