           Summary: librss Should Treat Dublin Core and RSS Metadata
                    Elements as Interchangable
           Product: kdelibs
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: coolo kde org
        ReportedBy: warren cs queensu ca


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

If librss is parsing a channel or item and does not find a title or description in \
the RSS 1.0 namespace, I think it would be a good idea to check if there is metadata \
in the Dublin Core namespace. For example, the following should be semantically \
equivalent:

<rdf:RDF ... xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" \
xmlns:rss="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/">  <rss:channel>
    <rss:title>Foo</rss:title>
  </rss:channel>
</rdf:RDF>

<rdf:RDF ... xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" \
xmlns:rss="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/">  <rss:channel>
    <dc:title>Foo</dc:title>
  </rss:channel>
</rdf:RDF>

I think that this change would increase librss's interoperability with other XML \
technologies and in anticipation that RSS will depreciate its custom metadata \
elements for DC in the future.
