Comment (by jhd):

 Firstly, note that I AM in favour of some such more in the area of greater
 use of metadata. However, most applications of the sort I know (CA systems
 etc. - SWiM-like applications are clearly different) tend to ignore
 metadata, and should be left free to ignore it WITHOUT KNOWING what it is
 that they are ignoring.
     * the minimum metadata vocabulary that a CD-aware application must
 support is the one from OpenMath 2.
 Fine, though there's no reason why we shouldn't DCize it in the process
     * optionally, an application can also support a syntax like dc:author.
 Now we could say that if this syntax is supported the full DC vocabulary
 must be supported,
 'supported' in the sens eof not causing an error, I assume.
 and we could add a few other reasonable ones, such as Creative Commons for
 licencing (as done in OMDoc, see chapter 1.2 of
 http://www.omdoc.org/pubs/omdoc1.2.pdf)
     * optionally, an application can support the syntax sketched in the
 ticket that allows for arbitrary metadata. In that case, at least the URIs
 pointing to the DC metadata vocabulary must be supported; further metadata
 vocabularies can be supported.
 Possibly - I don't know enough to comment.
