I agree Karen, I also hold out high hopes for the Roles pattern to make the multitude of CreativeWork to Person/Organization relators, manageable. As you say there are a handful of common ones that come to mind (director, producer for Movie, author, editor, translator, illustrator, for books/literary works). In the balance between simplicity & understandability for web masters and keeping the numbers of properties manageable, we should be conservative in adding any more than a few as listed above. Beyond that using Role for other creator / contributor roles should be the order of the day. ~Richard On 1 Sep 2014, at 15:35, Karen Coyle <kcoyle@kcoyle.net> wrote: > I was under the impression that creative works would be able to use the "roles" pattern that was discussed [1]. Right now, CreativeWork has author, creator, and contributor. Although there are a handful of common creative roles that come to mind (editor, translator, illustrator), the actual number blossoms quickly when you move beyond books. Movies have a huge number of creative roles; music also has quite a few (librettist, composer, performer, lead singer...). The roles list used by the Library of Congress gives an idea of the magnitude of the problem.
