value for dc:format should be 'OWL'

the current long sentence dilutes information

DC is very general on this, as it specifies:
Term Name: format
URI: http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/format
Label: Format
Definition: The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource.
Comment: Examples of dimensions include size and duration. Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary such as the list of Internet Media Types [MIME].
References: [MIME] http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/

So would be MIME type TEXT according to their 'best practice'. OWL is not yet named there. Novertheless, I have now put 'OWL' in the first line, but don't want people to confuse Syntax and Semantic here. So will keep the text which specifies our format for humans. The DC format field definition is overloaded anyway and I can't imagine any useful computational exploitation here for the moment.

I agree with you, hence best to keep it very short.
if you choose to follow the dc recommandation to use mime type, here is what W3C OWL reference document states:

I will put OWL and 'application/rdf+xml' in the next line and in the following the detailed human interpretable notion on the format and how we use it ('format' is not even distinguishing between semantics and syntax ...
Don't you think diverting from (absoluteley non-established) best practices here is fine, given that computer interpretability is out of scope anyway, and we would at least be clear to humans ?
