Which property would be used for the concept of the dataset Content Creator? “Agent” does not seem to include roles. How are the various roles recorded?

Consideration
There is no concept in DCAT (nor in the AP) for "dataset content creator". The only Agent role that is specified is the publisher, expressed through the property dct:publisher.
Proposed resolution
The issue was brought up as a question, not a documented requirement; the requirement has neither been identified in the development of DCAT, nor in the DCAT-AP WG. Therefore I propose to not include dct:creator.
Proposed action
No change to the specification.
Resolved at meeting 18 July 2013, see report at https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/document/dcat-application-profile-wg-virtual-meeting-2013-07-18.
At the meeting it was decide that the section of provenance 11.3 should contain some text to indicate that the PROV omtology can be used to model agent roles.
