My understanding is that Dublin Core Terms (dcterms) in the /terms/ namespace are "XMP Qualifiers"? I know ExifTool does not yet support them.

I'm trying to solve the problem of provenance, and unfortunately the most robust solutions appear to be PROV and dcterms. PROV I find to be bloated and with a decent learning curve. That leaves me with little room...
How difficult would support for dcterms be? Does any other metadata library support them? I don't even know what XMP qualifiers are! I cant seem to find any files with dcterms embedded anywhere.

XMP qualifiers are a pain in the ass because they don't conform to the ExifTool -TAG=VALUE model. To implement them, I would probably have to treat these as structures and hack the ExifTool -struct feature somehow. It is on my list of things to do, but probably isn't something that will get done soon.

I can imagine! I don't even know of any other namespace using them. I guess DC wanted to remain betrothed to the big 15 or something? Strange!
