I'm building RSS feeds using <dc:creator> for the author of each item, but I want to associate a URI with that person - either a website address or a mailto:
So, what I'm doing at the moment is using rdf:resource - that seemed to me like the most appropriate established attribute - like this:
<dc:creator rdf:resource="http://www.brothercake.com/">
brothercake
</dc:creator>
But the reader I use doesn't pick it up unless it's a mailto: and the node value matches the attribute value (apart from "mailto://")
Am I mis-using the rdf:resource attribute to use it for this - is there something better or more appropriate? Or is this a fair way to go, and if readers don't pick up on it that's not really important (which is my instinct on the issue)
