Someone please clarify for DC novices (like myself): It is my understanding
that DC is qualified (customized) by each organization/enterprise to meet
parochial business requirements, so it would not be possible to create a
generalized Qualified DC to MODS transform(?).
Cheers,

Not really DCMI has its own definition of qdc
http://dublincore.org/schemas/xmls/index.shtml
section Qualified DC XML Schemas, version 2008-02-11
There are many qdc(s) so one stylesheet won't work here.

Dear Hervé,
If you don't find a stylesheet for this, I'd bet a big reason is the
unpredictable-ness of Qualified DC in XML. The format isn't nearly as
well-defined in XML as simple DC is - one needs to pull together three
different schemas. Plus it's rare to see qualified DC out there that
only uses the "official" DC qualifiers.
But this does seem like a resource that should exist. Do folks agree on
a semi-authoritative definition of Qualified DC in XML that could be
used as the basis for building this kind of stylesheet?
