Edward,

Because I already have some code lying around that does more or less
the same thing, I'd probably sling some Python using the xlrd library
(N.B. works on xls files but not xlsx files).  It'd look similar to
this method, perhaps a little simpler, though this method doesn't
write out a DC file:

By "Dublin Core," I assume you mean OAI Dublin Core XML?
