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). Bye, Ole
