[OAI-implementers] oai_dc metadata format

[Todd White]

while we're on the subject of the required oai_dc format, i'm hoping
someone(s) can verify for me that the following XML for the
standard/required oai_dc format is NOT valid.  (the Open Archives
Initiative - Repository Explorer already did, but any further
validation/comments will be most appreciated.)

specifically, the attribute/values -- xsi:type="dct:DCMIType" and
xsi:type="dct:URI" -- are not allowed, correct?

the following comes from:
http://www.archive.org/services/oai.php?verb=GetRecord&metadataPrefix=oai_dc&identifier=oai:archive.org:texts/64276

  <dc:rights>This collection is free and open for everyone to use. Our
goal in digitizing these texts and putting them online is to provide easy
access to a rich and fascinating core collection of archival texts. By
providing near-unrestricted access to these texts, we hope to encourage
widespread use of moving images in new contexts by people who might not
have used them before.</dc:rights>
