Tim Tony Hammond of Nature Publishing Group wrote a good article on augmenting RSS with domain-specific namespaced elements a while back at http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2003/07/23/rssone.html. It shows an example of embedded Dublin Core and PRISM elements and might provide some inspiration (there is a useful link, in the comments, to a qualified Dublin Core representation as well). Eamonn

I'm only tentatively playing with these sorts of things at the moment, so I could be wrong, but might it be possible to include this, and all the other metadata mentioned, using the Dublin Core spec embedded as eRDF or RDFa within the html? since Dublin Core is an open spec this'd be great for interoperability, I imagine... cheers, Tim
