[foaf-dev] dc:creator vs foaf:maker

[Axel Polleres]

Hi all,

What I read about foaf:maker vs. dc:creator at [1,2] seems to be 
outdated by the latest DCMI recommendations [3].

Also if you look at http://dblp.l3s.de/d2r/page/authors/Axel_Polleres, 
it seems that the D2R guys - somewhat ahead of their time ;-) -
already seem to use dc:creator like that, i.e. referring to URI 
identified resources directly.

for me personally it seems that one should deprecate foaf:maker and make 
it a subproperty of dc:creator.

Opinions?

Axel
