I wasn't in Florence, but yes, I raised the question here http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind0212&L=dc-architecture&T= 0&F=&S=&P=61 after seeing the examples in the drafts put out by the RDF Core WG. And as Dave says, it looked to me as if at least some of the DC encoding schemes were candidates for modelling as rdfs:Datatype, and (like Mikael) I find the simplicity/consistency of that approach appealing. But I was less sure about some of the "vocabulary" encoding schemes where it's less clear that an instance of an "encoding scheme term" should be represented as a (typed) literal - which is what I understood Roland was arguing in that thread here http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind0212&L=dc-architecture&T= 0&F=&S=&P=329 Pete
