Y, I agree. What I want it to mean is "anyone who touched the document"...not necessarily those "responsible" for the resource:
"Contributor is the most general of the elements used for "agents" responsible for the resource" Given that contributor is the most general, that seems the best fit available within dc. Is there another standard we could look to (anything somewhere in XMP)? Or should we define my broader/mis-use of "dc:contributor" and use it or should we branch to a homemade property? -----Original Message----- From: Ray Gauss [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, September 30, 2015 4:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: extracting contributor information? For edits I'd say +1. For annotations and comments I'm undecided, the DC definition is somewhat vague: "An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource." If a user's comment is "this document is terrible" is he/she a contributor?
