What is the perceived difference between "contributor" and "agent"? I'll tell you how it strikes me: -a contributor has had some intellectual role in the bringing-forth of the creative work; (BF: " Generalized expressive responsibility role." - not sure what that means.) -an agent could include those who have a role such as manufacture (binder), distribution (movie distribution company), ownership, etc. that do not contribute intellectual content. (BF: " Entity associated with a resource or element of description" ??) Totally debatable, which is why I put it as a question. kc -- Karen Coyle [log in to unmask] http://kcoyle.net m: +1-510-435-8234 skype: kcoylenet/+1-510-984-3600
