8 lines:
I've expressed my views on description/subject problem before, and
choose at the time subject only. That was under the assumption that DC
should contain 14 attributes. If we add one, and I think that we should
do so, DC.description would actually make my life as a robot runner
slightly easier to live. This addition would make it possible to put
the metadata already out there in easily understood DC categories.
Keywords goes into DC.subject, and description into DC.description :-)
Hence, this would give us "backward compatibility".
