Feature Proposal: Publishing with Dublin Core meta data in head

Motivation

Search engines can order relevance of data based on freshness of pages or the authors of pages, but need to have this information in a standardized format.

Description and Documentation

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2731.txt describes use of the Dublin Core meta data in the head section of an HTML page. This includes DC.Date for date events (created, modified), and authors and contributors. If we have and can expose the information, the rest of the Dublin Core spec could be useful to others.

Examples

<meta name="DC.Date.Created" content="1999-06-13" />

<meta name="DC.Date.Modified" content="2010-02-24" />

• patterndcdate.diff: Add DC.Date to PatternSkin

If you change your patch to be against the head of the default skin, which should be used by pattern, and all the other skins, then yes please

Scope for this will be 2.0 as we cannot pass this before feature freeze for 1.1.

And last time I allowed a small easy change that added headers - in the last minute - we ran into trouble that we surprised us all.

It is better to add this feature to trunk after we branch off Release01x01 so it gets into 2.0 and gets tested for many months against surprises. It is not a key feature we cannot live without.

Proposal is accepted by 14-day rule but for Foswiki 2.0.

Please do not check this into trunk until after we have created Release01x01 branch end of April 2010. We are on feature freeze for 1.1.

See Wikipedia:Dublin_Core and updated RFC:5013

This all looks pretty simple to adopt for 2.1. Is it worth it?

Changing this one to Parked. Accessing Rev 1 on every view request is very high overhead, especially for RcsLite. Unless someone needs this feature, probably best to shelve it for now.
