Dublin Core isn't EPUB specific, its not even Ebook specific, its also used in E-Commerce systems.
I have a feeling the ECB uses it in Target2 - which deals with €'s by the 100's of billions; by the 1,000's trillions, if Draghi gets his way

AFAI Can See the OPF specs call for DC compliance - one can play around with the DC stuff here - http://www.dublincoregenerator.com

Cool, if I make it a long text I can put a http link in it, and click it in book details, and go to the page.
Haven't tested it with FTP or WAIS yet but it may work if I set things up correctly.

However if I put in a folder path in as a link as in file://E:/MediaStore/Dates/2009/10%20October/

then the link does not open the folder path as I hoped it might.
What it opens is the Book Details as a separate window - which is a bit bizarre

So could Calibre be enhanced to recognize 'file://' URI's and act on them appropriately, viz
  • if its a folder then open the folder in Windows Explorer, Finder whatever,
  • if its a file then open the file according to whats been defined as the handler for the file type - eg an xls file would be normally be opened with Excel.
Also how can I get a link to another book in Calibre
I would envisage double clicking such a link would open its Book Details in a separate window
Why would I want to do that - how else would you suggest Huxley's Brave New World be 'related' to Shakespeare's The Tempest.
