While the present version of the Dublin Core module follows the
standard practice of string literal values, we expect the module
to evolve richer semantics. The form currently under discussion
works with a taxonomy module to provide a resource-based topic
definition ("as in...") while also providing a string literal
via rdf:value. This is termed, in some circles, a "dumbed down"
approach; richer semantics for those who can deal with them,
plain text default value for those who can't / aren't interested.
