Pardon me for horning in here. I am leading the metadata effort for the
MS project of Educom (http://www.imsproject.org, technical documents at
http://www.imsproject.org/technical).
One of the things we are considering is the use of OIDs (Object IDs) or
GUIDs (Globally Unique IDs) on all objects. A person's profile would
thus have an OID or GUID. The Creator field could thus have the GUID(s)
as the value, with no name at all. Will the use of only GUIDs for
object and entity references work in the Dublin Core schema?
