As far as I've seen, the major RDF implementations are RPMfind, DMoz, and a couple of others I'm forgetting right now. No Dublin Core involved in either of them. > So, to illustrate, if today I want to see all documents where "creator" > is David Bowie, then today I set "composer" and "author" and "painter" > to be equivalent. Actually, there should be no need to do anything like that. I imagine a Web of objects (in RDF/DC or otherwise) would look something like this: <megg:Person rdf:about="http://megginson.com/objects/12345"> <dc:title>David Bowie</dc:title> <dc:date>1947-01-08/</dc:date> </megg:Person> <megg:Song rdf:about="http://megginson.com/objects/54321"> <dc:title>Space Oddity</dc:title> <dc:date>1972</dc:date> <dc:creator rdf:resource="http://megginson.com/objects/12345"/> </megg:Song> A composer is just the creator of a song, while a sculptor is the creator of a sculpture. There's no need to define all of the things dc:creator can refer to, as long as you explain the kind of relationship it defines.
