Dublin Core
I've added Dublin Core metadata and AC metadata (Admin-Core) to the head section. To view it select View/Source in IE.
I think some of the Dublin Core folks are on the wrong track in thinking of metadata as cataloging. I think a better view would be as a title page, something from which to take cataloging information. When the book was invented, it took a while for standards in format to evolve. We take for granted a title page, table of contents in the front, index in the back each containing some particular information in a set way. That is not a given. It is a de facto standard in the English-speaking world. The Web will need some format standards and DC metadata can function as a title page.
