 -- Updated summary of the DCMI Abstract Model to reflect
    the changes in the 2007-04-02 version [3].
 -- Changed all references to dcrdf:valueString to rdf:value
 -- Removed the RDF shorthand notation
 -- Introduced the notion of literal value surrogates as per the DCAM.
 -- Modified the examples to use dcterms properties; modified
    literal/non-literal examples.
 -- Changed the representation of Vocabulary Encoding Schemes
    to use the dcam:memberOf property instead of rdf:type.
