Steven,
I'm not sure I fully understand your message.
The URI http://purl.org/dc/terms/ resolves to an RDF/XML representation
of the semantics of the DCMI terms in that namespace (an "RDF Schema").
This document is _not_ a W3C XML Schema, so does not contain definitions
of complexTypes etc.
However, there is a _proposed_ set of W3C XML Schemas which support the
suggested (non-RDF-based) conventions for encoding DC in XML described
in
http://dublincore.org/documents/2002/09/09/dc-xml-guidelines/
These schemas were announced to this list here:
http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind0207&L=dc-architecture&T=
0&O=A&P=6274
and further details are available at
http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/metadata/dcmi/xmlschema/
N.B. these are still only proposals and are under discussion on this
list.
Specfically, the schema at
http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/metadata/dcmi/xmlschema/dcterms.xsd
does include a definition of a named complexType corresponding to the
URI encoding scheme, and there is an example of an instance document at
http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/metadata/dcmi/xmlschema/testqualifieddc.xml
which references that complexType via an xsi:type attribute, and (I
hope!) validates using XSV.
Is that what you require please? My apologies if I am misinterpreting
your message!
Regards
Pete Johnston
