Can anyone clear up my confusion about the DC-Lib Comment under "medium"
(~page 20 of the DC Library application Profile
<http://dublincore.org/documents/library-application-profile/index.shtml>)
where it says "Format without an element refinement qualifier should be used
to specify the electronic format of the resource, using the encoding scheme
IMT. Format should be repeated if both are applicable (e.g., a PDF file on
CD)."
Wouldn't this violate the one-to-one principle? Aren't you supposed to be
describing just the one manifestation (e.g., jpeg OR a pdf file on CD but
not both)?
