Yes. Amongst others, we at the Arts & Humanities Data Service in the UK
are embedding DC metadata into HTML.

The tools we are using to do this are now a little old, and will soon be
updated to take account of the changed element names (December 1996) and
the additional LANG qualifier from Canberra (March 1997). Still, feel free
to take a look...

A project currently working on a larger scale than the AHDS is the Nordic
Metadata Project, which is also embedding Dublin Core in HTML. You can see
their tool at http://www.ub.lu.se/metadata/DC_creator.html.


Hope this helps,

Paul
