(Re)using existing vocabulary makes sense, no doubt. Unfortunately, foaf:maker 
does not suffice w.r.t. the provenance questions I mentioned in my previous 
mail. DC is more expressive in this regard; it has dcterms:creator, 
dcterms:publisher, dcterms:contributor, and dcterms:source. However, even DC 
does not cover all of my provenance questions. For instance, it is impossible 
to describe the method with which an RDF dataset has been created (e.g. mined 
from a text, extracted from a relational DB).
