The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) is a standardized vocabulary for handling information about documents. In general, the DCMI vocabulary defines a hierarchy of terms that describe the purpose, context, and origin of a document (rather than describing the document itself). David shows you how DCMI provides a set of metadata primitives that you can reuse (through namespaces) in broader XML vocabularies, such as RSS variants. Various standards, including those from ISO and NISO, have adopted parts of DCMI.
