Bibliontology > uses dcterms over dc. Well I actually meant dcterms:creator when I wrote dc:creator, sorry. So you can link your personal tags to your foaf profile, for example. And it's consistent even for tag:AutoTag, since the range of dcterms:creator is dcterms:Agent, including person, organisation and software agent as well. Unless I miss some sublte distinguo dcterms:Agent is equivalent to foaf:Agent, and dcterms:creator equivalent to foaf:maker. BTW, with due respect to danbri, I wish FOAF would be revised to align whenever possible on dcterms vocabulary, now that it has clean declarations of classes, domains and ranges ... http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms is worth (re)visiting :-) Best Bernard -- *Bernard Vatant *Senior Consultant Vocabulary & Data Engineering Tel: +33 (0) 971 488 459 Mail: bernard.vatant@mondeca.com <mailto:bernard.vatant@mondeca.com> ---------------------------------------------------- *Mondeca** *3, cité Nollez 75018 Paris France Web: www.mondeca.com <http://www.mondeca.com> Blog: Leçons de Choses <http://mondeca.wordpress.com/> ----------------------------------------------------**
