Sorry to leap back to this topic, but the issue came up in the course of
my thinking about something else...
Currently we have the class "Literal" as the range of the title,
abstract, alternative, and tableOfContents properties.
But in the work on the LOM-DCAM mapping over in the DC-IEEE-TaskForce
[1], we've suggested using the dc:title property with a value which is
an instance of a class we called "Natural Language String", i.e. a
resource which may be represented by multiple value strings, each
associated with different language tags (corresponding to the LangString
datatype in LOM).
I think (but I'm not completely sure) that this would require the range
for dc:title to be something other than the class of Literals.
