/ Frédéric Glorieux <frederic.glorieux@ajlsm.com> was heard to say:
| A vCard seems to go correctly in an <address/> (with the name in it).
| Is it the good wrapper? Could we build address-book apps on it?

To the extent that the vCard data is an address, you can put it in an
address.

| The problem is for contributor. 
| 	The article referenced upper propose
| <<	<othercredit>, <collab>, <editor>, possibly another <author>
| with a role attribute.	>>
| 	For my case, <collab> is exclude (address allowed only if
| affiliation).
| 	Editor is a good distinction, but dangerous in automatic.
| 	<Othercredit/> is a bit low.
| 	My documents seems to use the distinction creator/contributor of
| DC like for an academic publication (example:a director with students).
| First, fill creator, if time, add contributors. I cautiously choose
| <author/> with role, readers could correct if they want.

I think I'd have chosen othercredit, but author will work.

| 	What I would like for the future is a more precise rule,
| (possibly deterministic), expressed by docbook. Probably other users
| will one day use the OAI protocol to answer DC things on request (here
| it's a question). 

I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
