The following is the outcome of a simple use of MARC-to-DC crosswalk, plugging in values from the Annie MARC record. Note that some of the fields need augmentation (via Dublin Core Assistant) ... to put it mildly.

Coverage is one of the items we're especially concerned with:
The extent or scope of the content of the resource.I presume that these values will be added as qualifications to basic Dublin Core, though I don't yet know exactly how that's to be done. Thus, there's a bounding box that holds all of the points for the Reader Diary, and the coordinates of that should probably be the value for the Coverage in the DC record. The individual pages accessible via the ArcIMS interface might be noted as entries in the Relation field (viz. "isreferencedby") or possibly in Source ("isversionof")> Some examples:Comment: Coverage will typically include spatial location (a place name or geographic coordinates), temporal period (a period label, date, or date range) or jurisdiction (such as a named administrative entity). Recommended best practice is to select a value from a controlled vocabulary (for example, the Thesaurus of Geographic Names) and that, where appropriate, named places or time periods be used in preference to numeric identifiers such as sets of coordinates or date ranges.
Refinements: spatial (point, box) , temporal (date and time)
