Birth and Death dates:

Should we model this as an event (like http://vocab.org/bio) such that
each life extent works out to something like (switching to N3 as I only
did the above in RDF/XML to match the incoming record.)

@prefix bio: <http://purl.org/vocab/bio/0.1/> .
@prefix foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> .
@prefix book: <http://example.org/book/> .
@prefix agent: <http://example.org/agent/> .

book:ABookUID
    a bibo:Book  
    ; dcterms:title "Wave mechanics and molecular biology"
    ; dcterms:contributor 

agent:AnAgentUID 
    a foaf:Person
    ; foaf:name "Broglie, Louis de"
    ; bio:event [ a bio:Birth
                  ; bio:principal agent:AnAgentUID
                  ; bio:date "1892"
                ]
    ; bio:event [ a bio:Death
                  ; bio:principal agent:AnAgentUID
