A VES is a set of resources because it is the resources (rather than the
descriptions of those resources) that we are interested in using as
values in DC statements.
If I write a book about New Zealand, then the dc:subject of my book is
'New Zealand' (the place) - the dc:subject is not 'a description of New
Zealand'.
