resource as literal or uri, when importing DC record as rdf/xml

[pvgenuchten]

When importing

<rdf:RDF xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:dct="http://purl.org/dc/terms/" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">

    <dc:type>document</dc:type>
  </rdf:Description>

vs

<rdf:RDF xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:dct="http://purl.org/dc/terms/" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">

the first works fine, the second returns an empty reference element, can we support both
the second may be the optimal choice considering https://www.dublincore.org/specifications/dublin-core/dcmi-terms/terms/references/

@pvgenuchten - do you have a Python snippet that calls a service returning data in the second format?

[pvgenuchten]

I’ll try to find some examples

@pvgenuchten - do you have a Python snippet to show this issue that I can turn into a test?
