In epub3 books, metadata entries are primarily used as refines. Here's a typical example:
Code:
<dc:creator id="create1">John Doe</dc:creator>
<meta scheme="marc:relators" property="role" refines="#create1">aut</meta>
<meta property="file-as" refines="#create1">Doe, John</meta>
The first refine defines the creator as an author and the second refine defines the author sort order.
The epub2 equivalent is:
Code:
<dc:creator opf:file-as="Doe, John" opf:role="aut">John Doe</dc:creator>
As you can see, the epub3 version is a bit more verbose.
