In the library world, there's such as thing as the 'marc relator
terms', and http://dublincore.org/usage/documents/relators/ gives an
account as to how to use them as a specialization of 'dc:contributor'.
Here's the full list, http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators.html and
here's a smaller list
http://lcweb2.loc.gov/diglib/loc.terms/relators/dc-contributor.html
that has been mapped to Dublin Core properties (mostly but not
entirely to dc:contributor).
Perhaps some are a bit niche ('Puppeteer', 'Lithographer', ''Landscape
architect', ... but even considered as niches these roles employ
thousands of people. I'd like to know more about how these codes are
used, ... and think about whether and how they might be represented in
a schema.org context (maybe some open/linked library dataset stats
would help?). They're pretty close to the http://schema.org/JobPosting
work too, being basically coded job names... (for the subset of jobs
that contribute to the production of documentable artifacts?).
