Hello,

'Creators' is not an element of the Dublin Core standard. Therefore I 
would not mark 'Creator' as deprecated because it is an element of the 
standard[1].

'Creator' could be a string representation of the sequence 'Creators':

   Creators = ['Name 1', 'Name 2', ...]
   Creator = "Name 1, Name 2, ..."
