I would also suggest foaf:maker.

I just reply to an e-mail from Toby on the topic on the commontag ml.
Since the archives are not yet public, let-me repost my point about  
the mappings here.

"A Tag in common tag is a tag a seen in Newman's ontology.
If you look at [2], a ctag:Tag is used to annotate a resource with a  
ctag:tagged property, as done in Newman's ontology with tag:Tag and  
tag:taggedWithTag
The thing that may be disturbing (but not wrong imho, that's just  
another way of modeling) is indeed the tagging date, which is related  
to the tag in CommonTag, but was related to the tagging action  
(tripartite model) in Newman's model.

Hence, the current mappings are right if you follow that convention, I  
will do some schemas from the mappings file to explicit that.
"

Best,

Alex.
