Sorry, I don't understand the distinction you are making here.
People are resources. In the terms of the DCMI Abstract Model, the "values" for the creator, contributor, publisher etc properties _are_ people (well, they are "entities" or "agents", which might also be resources other than people, like organisations or services).
So, as Irvin says, yes, this - the description of agents - is _exactly_ the remit of the DC Agents WG. Scanning the mailing list archive
http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/DC-AGENTS.html
suggests that the Agents WG has received almost no interest for at least the last couple of years.
