Comment (by david):

 I'm against replacing the OM* elements with dc ones.

 Any software that would want to extract RDF metadata out of the CDs would
 need some tuning to know whereto find the metadata even if were encoded in
 dc format. For such software building a mapping from OM* to dc:* into the
 extraction process isn't really a big deal.

 For any other use, including the main use of specifying to implementors of
 the mathematical functions, the mathematical properties to be implemented,
 using elements from multiple vocabularies complicates things for no gain.
 If there is a distinct set of OM* elements then CD tools can easily know
 what elements need to be implemented, if we include subsets of external
 vocabularies (dc, rdfs, owl?, ....)
 then this is harder to document and harder to enforce.
