That reference should be to "value strings", though, not "string values". So we could maybe say in general terms, the phrase 'simple DC' is used to refer to DC metadata that does not make any use of encoding schemes and element refinements and in which each statement contains a value string. or something like that? I'm not sure this is strictly necessary though? Does it add something significant? Comments on other comments to follow separately... Pete
