I see what you're doing, but not sure it fits all situations. Can there
be multiple instances of the Author field?
Sometimes I can see one author being the lead author, originator, or
creator, even when he has co-authors. In other cases, I think all
co-authors should be ranked equally, and my first thought would be to
list them all as authors. How would you do it with the scheme you
propose (if multiple instances of Author are not possible?)?
Even a group of co-authors as described above might want to acknowledge
other contributors, thus the need for co-authors and contributors for
some documents.
Sorry, I haven't tried to read the DC (or whatever it is called) -- if
the answer is clearly there, say so and I'll read it.
