Subj: RE: ELEMENT NAMES
I don't think this is part of what the DC definition is about. If I am writing
a DC-able piece of software for the French market place it will (a) use French
names for the tags (b) expect to have to translate from names used for the tags
in other languages. To help it do that, the simplest mechanism is probably
something like architectural forms (or in TEI terms, the TEIFORM attribute).
so I will generate <titre lang=fra dcform=TITLE>
and hope to receive <splorg lang=xxx dcform=TITLE>
(where "splorg" is the "xxx" equivalent for "title".
But this remains a simple programming matter. Of course, you're stuck
if you don't have any attributes...
