RDF optimization

I am putting together a person schema 

a subset of this person schema describes the publications of this person

I decide to model following  bibtex metadata  conventions

I am advised on foaf lists to adopt perhaps

> http://www.l3s.de/~siberski/bibtex2rdf/<http://www.l3s.de/%7Esiberski/bibtex2rdf/> 
> , 
> http://www.cs.vu.nl/~mcaklein/bib2rdf/<http://www.cs.vu.nl/%7Emcaklein/bib2rdf/> 
> , 
> http://zeitkunst.org/bibtex/0.1/ 




Instead, I decide to normalised the bibtext data set to a more efficient schema, and plan to 

base my rdf on it (see normalised schema below)

is this approach sound? had anyone done it it before? does it make sense?
Thanks for comments

cheers
