A second property with the same name as this property has been declared in the dcterms: namespace (http://purl.org/dc/terms/). See the Introduction to the document "DCMI Metadata Terms" (http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/) for an explanation.
Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary such as RFC 4646 [RFC4646].
Language
A language of the resource.
RDF/XML
Spatial topic and spatial applicability may be a named place or a location specified by its geographic coordinates. Temporal topic may be a named period, date, or date range. A jurisdiction may be a named administrative entity or a geographic place to which the resource applies. Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary such as the Thesaurus of Geographic Names [TGN]. Where appropriate, named places or time periods can be used in preference to numeric identifiers such as sets of coordinates or date ranges.
The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant.
Coverage
This document describes an ontology for publishing descriptions of historical events as Linked Data, and for mapping between other event-related vocabularies and ontologies.
LODE: An ontology for Linking Open Descriptions of Events
Event
"Something that happened," as might be reported in a news article or explained by a historian.
An event consists of some temporal and spatial boundaries subjectively imposed on the flux of reality or imagination, that we wish to treat as an entity for the purposes of making statements about it. In particular, we may wish to make statements that relate people, places, or things to an event.
Note that, unlike some defintions of "event," this definition does not specify that an event involves a change of state, nor does it attempt to distinguish events from processes or states.

at time
Equivalent definitions from other ontologies: * C4DM Event ontology: "Relates an event to a time object, classifying a time region (either instantaneous or having an extent)."
This property relates an event to some subjectively imposed temporal boundaries, i.e. a span of time. An event can be related to only one such span of time.
an abstract instant or interval of time that is when an event happened.
an abstract region of space (e.g. a geospatial point or region) that is where an event happened.
in space
Note that a statement that relates an event to a region of space using this property only asserts that an event occurred somewhere within the region and does not assert that it occurred everywhere within the region.
This property relates an event to some subjectively imposed spatial boundaries, i.e. a region of space. An event can be related to only one such region of space.
Examples of a Publisher include a person, an organization, or a service. Typically, the name of a Publisher should be used to indicate the entity.
An entity responsible for making the resource available.
Publisher
Recommended best practice is to identify the related resource by means of a string conforming to a formal identification system.
A related resource.
Relation
Examples of a Creator include a person, an organization, or a service. Typically, the name of a Creator should be used to indicate the entity.
An entity primarily responsible for making the resource.
Creator
Typically, the subject will be represented using keywords, key phrases, or classification codes. Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary.
The topic of the resource.
Subject
Examples of dimensions include size and duration. Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary such as the list of Internet Media Types [MIME].
The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource.
Format
Typically, rights information includes a statement about various property rights associated with the resource, including intellectual property rights.
Information about rights held in and over the resource.
Rights
an agent involved in an event.
This property relates an event to anything with agency, such as a (legal or natural) person, a group, an organization, a computational agent, etc. It does not imply any causal relationship, influence, intentionality, etc.
involved agent
A name given to the resource.
Title
This property relates a span of time that cannot be precisely located in a chronological series to another span of time that can be precisely located, thus asserting that the latter is an approximation of the former.
An temporal relation expressing nearness in time.
circa
an interval of time that can be precisely described using calendar dates and clock times.
Recommended best practice is to identify the resource by means of a string conforming to a formal identification system.
An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context.
Identifier
Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary such as the DCMI Type Vocabulary [DCMITYPE]. To describe the file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource, use the Format element.
The nature or genre of the resource.
Type
This property relates any thing (typically a media object) to an event which it illustrates, documents or comments upon.
illustrate
an event illustrated by some thing (typically a media object)
The described resource may be derived from the related resource in whole or in part. Recommended best practice is to identify the related resource by means of a string conforming to a formal identification system.
A related resource from which the described resource is derived.
Source
This property relates an event to some meaningful place, which may have a name (e.g. "Paris") or may be defined relative to some other entity or entities (e.g. "the unincorporated area between Carson and Harbor Gateway"). An event may be related to more than one such place.
at place
a named or relatively specified place that is where an event happened.
Dublin Core Metadata Element Set, Version 1.1
Description may include but is not limited to: an abstract, a table of contents, a graphical representation, or a free-text account of the resource.
An account of the resource.
Description
This property relates an event to any physical, social, or mental object or substance. It does not imply any causal relationship or influence or any other kind of explanatory relationship such as creation, destruction, etc.
involved
a (physical, social, or mental) object involved in an event.
Examples of a Contributor include a person, an organization, or a service. Typically, the name of a Contributor should be used to indicate the entity.
An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource.
Contributor
Date may be used to express temporal information at any level of granularity. Recommended best practice is to use an encoding scheme, such as the W3CDTF profile of ISO 8601 [W3CDTF].
A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource.
Date
