Dear Andrew,
I thought I was explicitly NOT proposing that DC metadata do this work.
Rather DC metadata can have relation link to a metadata record created by
another community in which the agents (who might be owners/holders) are
documented.
I believe that the Recordkeeping community (archives for those readers not
aware of the RMK metadata work) is the most likely community to develop a
full metadata semantic for agents, just as the rightsholding community
(INDECS, for example) is most likely to develop a full metadata semantics
for rights agreements or deals.
