how to generate RDF (Dublin Core?) for web pages

Charlene Barina April 1st, 2008

I am working on a Mediawiki-based reference tool/subject guide (specifically, for the American Center for Mongolia Studies) and we would like to make it easier for researchers to import bibliographic data into their citation management software. II don’t know much about this stuff, but it seems like embedded RDF is one way to do so, and Dublin Core are a standard/naming convention for making this RDF easily parsed by many management softwares.  However, how do you go about generating this information? This metamaker seems like the most likely tool, although its focus is agriculture. Is there another, better way to generate or include this information?
