Okay finally managed to read that page ... not seeing any obvious 
problems right now.

For dc:identifier we used the following convention:
- service: 
http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wfs?REQUEST=GetCapabilities+SERVICE=WFS+VERSION=1.0
- georesource: 
http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wfs?REQUEST=GetCapabilities+SERVICE=WFS+VERSION=1.0#my_roads
- we also made use of "jdbc" as a URI to identify database resources ... 
did not see database in your list?

Do you want to consider multi lingual support on the human readable 
fields at this time?

Looking into your question about "description" vs. "abstract"... (for 
Service)
- abstract - abstract from WFS capabilities
- description - quick human readable string

Cheers,
Jody
