It seems to me that the presence of the following tags qualifies the RDF 
as linked data:

<dc:rights>http://creativecommons.org/licenses/GPL/2.0/</dc:rights>
<dc:source 
rdf:resource="gopher://wiretap.spies.com:70/00/Library/Classic/utopia.txt"/>

Of course, the usefulness of linked data increases drastically with the 
number of dimensions along which it's linked.

I'm interested by:

<dc:subject>
    <rdf:Bag>
      <rdf:li>man</rdf:li>
      <rdf:li>people</rdf:li>
      ....
   </rdf:Bag>
</dc:subject>

Given that dc:subject is repeatable, and there doesn't appear to be 
anything being said about cardinality, wouldn't this be simpler as:


<dc:subject>man</dc:subject>
<dc:subject>people</dc:subject>
...

Certainly the later converts to fewer tuples, since there is no bag to 
track the membership of.


Your  <alex:local_mirror />, <alex:concordance /> and <alex:plain_html 
/> tags seem to be remarkably similar to  dc.relation.isFormatOf. Maybe 
you could recast these in terms of dc?
