Hi Hrafn,
The lack of detailed bibliographic categories in available library schemas like DC-LAP or LIDO [1] is something I noted as well.
You can very easily distinguish subtitle in ONIX [2] as well as a bunch of other types of title, or crucially, *parts of titles*.
There would be a really, really easy way to improve the situation, which is simply to have repeatable, typed title parts and a controlled vocabulary per application profile; something we suggested for LIDO in the Linked Heritage project [3]... maybe DCMI could think about this too, since DC is a library-originated thing and it would make sense to concentrate on that domain to me (a humble librarian by training)...
Cheers, sjáumst!
Michael

Subject: Regarding DC-LAP
Hello
I've recently started looking at DC because I have to work with a DSpace 1.7 open repository.
I find it strange that in the DC-LAP there is a field for a title and even alternative title but no subtitle.
http://dublincore.org/documents/library-application-profile/
Is it assumed that the optional subtitle is added using space-semicolon-space?
Með kveðju,
