Hi all,

An interesting discussion came up (in the pub as all intersting
discussions do). Lets imagine that I want to create a registry of
subject identifiers and I want to store metadata about those identifiers
and I want to do that in a topic map. How do I identify the subject that
is the subject identifier ? 

As a concrete example, lets say that I want to state that the subject
identifier "http://psi.techquila.com/techquila" was created by Kal on
29/04/2004

I can think of several ways of doing this, but I wonder what folks would
consider to be best practice ?

Remember, I want to do this using a topic map, embedding DC metadata in
the representation retrieved from the subject identifier URI is not
enough.

Cheers,

Kal
