Thanks for your replies again everyone, in particular, thanks for
taking the time to explain DC to me a bit further John. The site I
have built is for a School, so there could be some good reasons for
adding DC Metadata. However, they are a small school, with only a
limited amount of courses and I would struggle to educate them on why
they need it and how to update/search with DC.

The main reason I wanted to enquire about metadata was for
accessibility. It's good to have a more clear understanding of how
Dublin Core relates to that, however I probably won't find too much
need for it on the type of sites I work on normally.

Thanks again for all your help.
Paul
