xmlns:dcterms="http://purl.org/dc/terms/"

Embedding Dublin Core in XHTML (not recommended)

Metadata should be embedded into the <head> section of an XHTML Web page using the <meta> and <link> elements, as described here.

<meta name="DC.subject" xml:lang="en-GB" content="seafood" />
<meta name="DC.subject" xml:lang="fr" content="fruits de mer" />
<link rel="DC.relation" hreflang="en" href="http://www.example.org/en/" />
<link rel="DC.relation" hreflang="de" href="http://www.example.org/de/" />

Embedding Dublin Core in XHTML+RDFa

Using XHTML+RDFa 1.0 profile for XHTML you can use the property attribute to encode Dublin Core properties:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML+RDFa 1.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/DTD/xhtml-rdfa-1.dtd">
<html  xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" >
 <head>
  <title>Embedding Dublin Core in XHTML+RDFa</title>
  <meta about="http://www.informatik.tu-cottbus.de/~agiurca/" content="My Web page"/>
  <meta property="dc:creator" content="http://www.informatik.tu-cottbus.de/~agiurca/"/>
  <meta property="dc:language" content="en-US"/>
 </head>
 <body>
 </body>
</html>
