    <t>
      This document obsoletes RFC 2731, "Encoding Dublin Core Metadata
      in HTML", as further development of this
      specification has moved to the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative
      (DCMI).

<section title="Introduction" anchor="introduction">
<t>
  <xref target="RFC2731"/> defines "Encoding Dublin Core Metadata in HTML". Newer
  specifications published by the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (http://dublincore.org/) over the last decade, in particular "Expressing Dublin Core metadata using HTML/XHTML meta and link elements" (<xref target="DC-HTML"/>), have obsoleted this work.
</t>
<x:note>
  <t>
    <x:h>Note:</x:h> Implementers of RFC 2731 should note that DC-HTML introduces
    a new requirement with respect to the use of the "head" element's "profile"
    attribute.
