Re: [docbook] Qualified Dublin Core

["Bob Stayton" <bobs at sagehill dot net>]

As I was trying to say, the attributes on the new elements cover most of the
qualifiers listed in the original Dublin Core Qualifiers document.  For
example:

<bibliorelation class="isbn" type="replaces">1-57870-080-9</bibliorelation>

This matches the "Relation" Dublin Core element with the "Replaces"
qualifier as described in the document.

If you need to extend further, you could use type="othertype" and
othertype="my own type".

If this isn't what you are looking for, perhaps you could give an example.
