We are urging people to use the Dublin Core variant of meta-data. I would like to propose that one element of this scheme, namely
<META NAME="DC.Type" CONTENT="chemical">
be used to identify that the page is "predominantly" chemical in its content. [...]
How standardized is this type? As far as I understand the working drafts on the DublinCore websites http://purl.org/dc/documents/working_drafts/wd-typelist.htm http://www.agcrc.csiro.au/projects/3018CO/metadata/dc_tf/type_simple.html the recommended types are collection, dataset, event, image, interactive resource, physical object, service, software, sound, and text. There also are proposals for something more specific like "text.thesis.doctoral" (http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/Metadata/structuralist.html). Where can I find out more about the DC.type "chemical"?
