Karen, the DC elements have always been defined as "repeatable" - meaning that you can do as you say above. However, the problem has been that the syntax to deploy this functionality has not been agreed on and/or really nailed down. How you would do this with META tag would be difficult. However, with the emerging Resource Description Framework (RDF) syntax (based on XML) you should be able to declare groupings and sequences of elements. (More about this at DC5 ;-) Cheers...
