An example is the <a href="http://www.threepress.org/document/Pride-and-Prejudice_Jane-Austen/" rel="nofollow">Pride and Prejudice</a> book page. If you <i>View Source</i> you will see three elements in the HTML head of the document: <blockquote> <meta name="dc:type" content="book" /> <meta name="dc:title" content="Pride and Prejudice" /> <meta name="dc:creator" content="Jane Austen" /> </blockquote> Note that this is HTML/AB Meta using DC names, not Dublin Core itself. I could literally add Dublin Core-namespaced markup to my XHTML, but no existing tools would be able to read it, and it might confuse legacy browsers that don't understand XML namespaces. AB Meta shoehorns Dublin Core names into HTML, which is straightforward for existing search engines to index and solves the backwards-compatibility problem. I could also insert Dublin Core into the source XML (which is marked up as TEI and now directly downloadable from that same book page), but I wouldn't be adding any new information. Good point!
