.. I've put various suggestions side-by-side at
http://andrew.triumf.ca/types.html
"manual" seems popular, as does image ..
One might assign types that reflect things that, when searching off-line,
are implicitly assumed from the place you are searching in. I guess this
covers image, video, music score etc. but also journal, fiction/non-fiction
etc.
How about
- Suggesting people with a current requirement go ahead with a
subtype or scheme
DC.TYPE.subtype = "etc."
DC.TYPE = "etc." scheme="etc."
- making an extensible list that discourages adding new types with the
same meaning as old types, but generally allows "new" new types
