 This is a rephrased version of proposal #12. I think many of these
 problems can be solved by getting rid of some (not all) of the
 idiosyncratic OpenMath CD metadata elements and replacing them by Dublin
 Core, Creative Commons, and other well-known metadata ontologies. One
 could either do this by statically importing certain XML schemas into the
 OpenMath XML schema, as e.g. OMDoc 1.2 does, too. That would give us
 elements like
 {{{
 <dc:author>Name</dc:author>
 }}}
 Several existing elements of the CD language could be abolished or
 deprecated in favour of this:
 * CDGroupName maps to dc:identifier
 * CDGroupDescription maps to dc:description
 * CDName maps to dc:identifier (see comment below for a discussion)
 * Description maps, quite naturally, to dc:description
 * CDDate maps, naturally, to dc:date
 * For CDComment, there is nothing in Dublin Core, but rdfs:comment from
 the widely used RDF Vocabulary Description Language (RDFS) could be used.
 * CDDefinition/Name maps to dc:identifier (see comment)
 * CDSignatures/Name maps to dc:identifier
 See http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/ for the specification of
 Dublin Core.
