[belated response]  That's an area I'd be interested (as someone required to use DC in my professional work)  in pursuing.  Some groundwork has been done. See this Google search for "rel=schema.*" on <http://dublincore.org>:          <http://tinyurl.com/3x9mct>  and, since there is clearly a schema already in existence, a piece of hidden metadata such as:          <meta name="DC.publisher" content="Acme Inc.">  easily becomes publishable as:          <span class="DC.publisher">Acme Inc.</span>  or, inside another microformat, say hCard:          <span class="DC.publisher fn org">Acme Inc.</span>   Note also that Dublin Core provides a range of pre-existing vocabularies, which might e re-usable (without the dc. prefix) where names are needed for classes in other microformats. For example, the DC type "sound" might be useful at the lowest level of hAudio  --  Andy Mabbett
