According to the DC Element Set, DC.Publisher is defined as an entity responsible for making the resource available. Would it be valid to interpret this to refer to provenance, i.e., if I have a site to which various entities have contributed resources, and these entities are not necessarily the creators of the resources, can I use DC.Publisher to refer to these entities? If not, is there an accepted way in Dublin Core to describe provenance?
