Abstract

OWL 2 DL ontology for Dublin Core metadata terms from the http://purl.org/dc/terms/ namespace; this version uses object and datatype properties instead of annotation properties where possible. Note that, because of this, when using this ontology you are restricted to using literals and non-literals in certain cases and especially you cannot use DCMI's DCSV.
