Does anyone know if search engines who use the meta keyword tag are able to read:

<meta name="dc.subject" content="keyword 1; keyword 2; keyword 3; etc." />

- of course this would be part of the Dublin Core Schema and would be indicated as such on a previous line.

If not, then I understand that one would use the regular meta tag of

<meta name="keywords" content="keyword 1; keyword 2; keyword 3; etc." />

And do any of my fellow Canadians familiar with the Government of Canada scheme along the lines of gcms? It is used like this:

<meta name="gcms.topic" content=" ">
<meta name="gcms.cluster" content=" ">
<meta name="gcms.caption" content=" ">
<meta name="gcms.creator.type" content=" ">
<meta name="gcms.contact.public" content=" ">

on this site: http://www.canada.gc.ca/main_e.html

I have a friend checking in with a friend who works on the Canada site and will keep you posted if I learn anything ;-)

I don't think any SEs use the Dublin Core meta data. There was an interesting article about meta data on the webmonkey site recently called Metadata Mark II.
