The [DBpedia Archivo Databus agent](https://databus.dbpedia.org/ontologies) generates only basic, static documentation for the archived snapshots of the ontologies.

## Ontology Metadata

DBpedia Archivo extracts metadata from the ontology for well known properties (e.g. dct:description). This subsection shows the content of every property individually using a separate heading.

### dct:description

The Data Source Description Vocabulary (DSD) allows the representation of data sources and their internal structure independently of their type. The figure below provides an overview on OWL classes and object properties present in the vocabulary. For simplicity, inverse object properties and some subclasses are not shown. Additionally, a distinction between "essential" OWL classes, that are required for the description of data sources, and "optional" classes, which provide additional non-necessary features, is being made.<br><img src="https://dqm.faw.jku.at/ontologies/dsd/4.0.0/DSD4.png" style="width: calc(100%); max-width: 1000px">
