If I understand current best practice, dct:creator > points to an Agent. What's Dublin Core's preferred property for the name? That's well-spotted! There is no officially preferred property, but foaf:name is the obvious candidate. For the sake of completeness I note that dc:creator "Alistair Miles" would not actually be incorrect (because http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/creator has no range), though we should not encourage use of this less precise legacy property.
