    This document describes an encoding for the DCMES in XML subject to these restrictions:

    * The Dublin Core elements described in the DCMES V1.1 reference can be used
    * No other elements can be used
    * No element qualifiers can be used
    * The resulting RDF/XML cannot be embedded in web pages

    The Dublin Core standard includes two levels: Simple and
    Qualified. Simple Dublin Core comprises fifteen elements;
    Qualified Dublin Core includes three additional elements
    (Audience, Provenance and RightsHolder), as well as a group
    of element refinements (also called qualifiers) that refine
    the semantics of the elements in ways that may be useful in
    resource discovery.

    Simple Dublin Core

    The fifteen Dublin Core elements used without qualifiers,
    that is without element refinement or encoding
    schemes. Sometimes referred to as Dublin Core simple.

    "Simple Dublin Core" is Dublin Core metadata that
    uses no qualifiers; only the main 15 elements of the
    Dublin Core Metadata Element Set are expressed as simple
    attribute-value pairs without any "qualifiers" (such as
    encoding schemes, enumerated lists of values, or other
    processing clues) to provide more detailed information
    about a resource.
