Adam,
The DC version that CORC produces on export isn't properly encoded for the
DC namespace. I encountered this problem when I used CORC as the basis for a
MARC to Dublin Core translator (see
http://alcme.oclc.org:4342/marc2dc/index.html). My solution was to take the
CORC DC and run it through an XSL translator. I've attached the XSL
stylesheet. Perhaps you will find it useful. If you have questions, contact
me.
