I'd use dc:type with different vocabulary.  Our guidelines for using DC to 
describe eprints

Using simple Dublin Core to describe eprints
http://www.rdn.ac.uk/projects/eprints-uk/docs/simpledc-guidelines/

suggests the following vocab

    * Book
    * BookChapter
    * ConferenceProceedings
    * ConferencePaper
    * ConferencePoster
    * InCollection
    * TechnicalReport
    * OnlineJournalArticle
    * JournalArticle
    * NewsArticle
    * Other
    * Preprint
    * Thesis

Dunno if that helps?

Andy.
