@nicholascar Again we need to be careful not to make changes that would break existing implementations. I think DCAT is in error recommending resources of type [foaf:Agent](http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/#term_Agent) as the range of [dct:publisher](http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/#terms-publisher), because the range of that property is formally defined as [dct:Agent](http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/#terms-Agent). If I remember correctly, there were plans to create an owl:sameAs between dct:Agent and foaf:Agent but I don't see that in the specifications. [org:Organization](https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-org/#class-organization) is formally declared to be a subclass of foaf:Agent. This leaves the case where a publisher is a person, for which [person:Person](http://www.w3.org/ns/person#Person) from the [Core Person Vocabulary](https://www.w3.org/ns/person) could be used, which is declared a subclass of foaf:Person, a subclass of foaf:Agent. -- GitHub Notification of comment by makxdekkers Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/111#issuecomment-365531189 using your GitHub account
