Description
Is the use:
<license rdf:resource="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/"/>
Really correct in the work section?
Seems as if it should have a different syntax (though I haven't checked this)
<dc:license> "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/" </dc:license>

Ah, but it is a refinement of the term rights...Dublin Core says refinements don't show hierarchically, but at the same levelish.

You'll have to scroll down to find dc:license, but it's there. The element set doesn't define it, but it is a valid term and the extension of the syntax would be to use the syntax I suggested. Or ask DC how they would do it.

The RDF metadata expresses License information per the Creative Commons RDF metadata spc.

There is *no* dc:license field:
