Make Roles resources like Entities. Classes of Roles (Creator, Publisher, PrincipleInvestigator) are instantiated for each Entity. Of course, this is rather similar to what's been rejected (?), but is still the best choice, IMO. This would be, for instance, "Barack Obama's role as president", as opposed to "the role of president", which would be a class. Role could also be an extension of skos:Concept and allow you to express "the role of president" directly without custom instantiation.
