Maybe I should wait for this discussion to move to the WG, but I think
perhaps this is a different issue to 'scheme harmonisation'??
I think 'metadata creator' needs to be considered in terms of 'where does
administrative metadata go?'. Most implementations store a
number of pieces of data referring to 'the metadata' to
assist with metadata management.
For example
Date created
Date to be reviewed
IPR (of the metadata itself)
Organisation that created metadata
I would argue that this data is outside the scope of DC :-) It is
structured according to a schema in its own 'namespace', its part of a
different model. DC does have to have limits doesn't it?
