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.
