As far as I can tell, Tracker only does a one to one mapping of keys to values. For example, there can only be one value for DC:Title.
For the dc:subject example, I'm talking about how to index this example. I can only have one value mapped to DC:Subject in the database, so I'm wondering if I should just separate each array item with a comma and then store that as the DC:Subject value.
