At the U.S. House of Representatives, we have been using Dublin Core
since 2005 as part of our efforts to promote web standards compliance.
Can you elaborate on this? What software do you use to actually consume
this data? Is this internal data or is it published on the Web?
I can't speak for Elliot, but the Web repository connector inside SAP
Netweaver's Knowledge Management has supported RFC2731-style encoded
metadata (as shown above) for many years now.
