The RFC Editor has announced the publication of Informational RFC 2413,
"Dublin Core Metadata for Resource Discovery"
available at ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2413.txt
This is the specification of the 15-element Dublin Core metadata set,
and the first in a series of planned Informational RFCs on DC.
The official announcement is included below.
A minor correction was made to the RFC today around 10am PDT, so those
who obtained the RFC yesterday or who have a copy of the most recently
published Internet Draft will likely want to download the RFC now.

The Dublin Core Metadata Workshop Series began in 1995 with an
invitational workshop which brought together librarians, digital
library researchers, content experts, and text-markup experts to
promote better discovery standards for electronic resources. The
Dublin Core is a 15-element set of descriptors that has emerged from
this effort in interdisciplinary and international consensus building.
This is the first of a set of Informational RFCs describing the Dublin
Core. Its purpose is to introduce the Dublin Core and to describe the
consensus reached on the semantics of each of the 15 elements.
