Beyond the Dublin Core:
Rich Meta-Data and Convenience-of-Use Are Compatible After All
Abstract
This paper has been prepared by a non-librarian and non-specialist in data
modelling. It is a reaction against what the author perceives as the
dangerous simplicity of the Dublin Core. It explains the author's disquiet,
and proposes ways in which that scheme's proponents can achieve their aims
without creating something that we'll all shortly regret.
