@jpullmann As far as I know, the range of `dct:subject` was left undefined at DCMI to allow for anything to be a "topic of the resource" including abstract concepts but also people, events and the like. If I remember correctly, the use case was a book about a specific person. The topic of the resource would then be the person. To limit the range of subjects to skos:Concept, DCAT defined` dcat:theme` as subproperty of `dct:subject`. In your example, I guess "birth statistics" could be modelled as a `skos:Concept`. If the requirement is to allow other things beyond `skos:Concept` to be 'topics' of datasets, I think `dct:subject` could serve that role -- otherwise, would you suggest another property, e.g. `dcat:realWorldEntityAsTopic` as a subproperty of `dct:subject`? -- GitHub Notification of comment by makxdekkers Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/168#issuecomment-374920387 using your GitHub account
