I like the CC idea and approach. A couple of things. I'm already up to
my ears in mailing lists, so forgive me if I don't join, and please CC
me on any follow-ups.
I added a CC record for 4Suite software:
http://uche.ogbuji.net/tech/4Suite/ (in "Local Resources"), directly
http://uche.ogbuji.net/tech/4Suite/4Suite-cc.rdf
I also have a comment on the spec=, or really the example therein. It
uses
<dc:creator><w:Person><dc:title>Yo-Yo
Dyne</dc:title></w:Person></dc:creator>
Is this a good idea? Using a wordnet word seems rather sketchy. Is
w:Person considered identical to, say w:Individual? Also, hoe are
people guided if the creator is not a person? I guessed w:Company.
ANother person might guess w:Organization. I think this becomes chaotic
too quickly.
Instead I suggest encouraging FOAF f:Person and the like, which derive
from the Wordnet equivalent. Or perhaps even define an enumeration of
types for use in CC, deriving from Wordnet.
