dcterms: defines dcterms:created and dcterms:creator. It also defined 
dcterms:modified, but NOT dcterms:modifiedBy. This has led to some 
implementations using dcterms:contributor and some defined their own 
modifiedBy term.

The OSLC Core spec specifies that dcterms:modified as follows:

Timestamp last latest resource modification 

We should therefore define oslc:modifiedBy in the OSLC Core vocabulary, to 
pair up with dcterms:modified.

dcterms:contributor should be used as a multi-valued propoerty to indicate 
the people who contributed to the resource, not just the person who last 
modified it.
