Does DublinCore supports semantic formatting like:
<dc:title>Einstein discovered that e = mc<sup>2</sup></dc:title>
(superscript differs semantically from a plain 2)
or
<dc:title>The genus <i>Microbotryum</i></dc:title>
(Scientific organism names have to be italicized)
Related: Is there any standard to avoid mixed content but allow
character formatting of basic xhtml elements that is in use?
I approached Jane Greenberg who says in principle DC should allow
this. However, the only schema I could find for DC:
=======================================
<xs:schema targetNamespace="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"><xs:annotation><xs:documentat
ion xml:lang="en">
DCMES 1.1 XML Schema
XML Schema for http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ namespace

=======================================
explicitly prevent this. Is there another schema? From which schema
do you expect other schemata to derive their DC-related types, to
allow more validation than directly using DC? Should I create my own
DC schema instead?
Thanks a lot!
