Thanks Samson. I wasn't aware of "annotation" properties. In any case, 
it appears the same problem exists: when I attempt to make my `creator` 
property a sub-property of `dct:creator` by selecting the 
"Superproperties" add button (plus sign), I see a handful of owl and 
rdfs properties but non from other ontologies like Dublin Core Terms.
