Well I actually meant dcterms:creator when I wrote dc:creator, sorry. So
you can link your personal tags to your foaf profile, for example.
And it's consistent even for tag:AutoTag, since the range of
dcterms:creator is dcterms:Agent, including person, organisation and
software agent as well.
Unless I miss some sublte distinguo dcterms:Agent is equivalent to
foaf:Agent, and dcterms:creator equivalent to foaf:maker. BTW, with due
respect to danbri, I wish FOAF would be revised to align whenever
possible on dcterms vocabulary, now that it has clean declarations of
classes, domains and ranges ...
http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms is worth (re)visiting :-)
Completely agree. I'm very happy with the direction of DC terms. The
foaf:maker property was essential for a while, until DC was cleaned up.
I'll mark it as a sub-property of dcterms:creator. I hope we'll get
reciprocal claims into the Dublin Core RDF files some day too...
Copying Tom Baker here. Tom - what would the best process be for adding
in mapping claims to the DC Terms RDF? Maybe we could draft some RDF,
put it onto dublincore.org elsewhere, and for now add a seeAlso from the
namespace RDF?
Hi Dan,
If you could write up a short proposal -- how the properties are
defined, with a proposed mapping claim -- we could discuss this
in the DCMI Usage Board and take a decision. We associate
changes in the namespace RDF (and related namespace
documentation) with formal decisions so would need to follow a
process.
Sounds like a plan! Thanks. I'll take it to DC lists and report back
here as things progress.
cheers,
Dan
