> We provide an alignment between schema.org and DCAT, see [appendix B](https://rawgit.com/w3c/dxwg/dcat-adjustingReferenceToIssues/dcat/index.html#dcat-sdo) in the current FPWD. The alignment was already included in DCAT 2.

> Yes, I think owl:versionInfo is meant to describe versions of ontology terms and constructs specifically.

> For example, owl:versionInfo is one of the implementation examples considered in the "Data Web Best Practice 7: Provide a version indicator" https://www.w3.org/TR/dwbp/#dataVersioning. Examples in the DWBP Rec have not normative status. Nevertheless, they should still suggest proper ways to implement Best Practices.
> Similarly, it is reused by ADMS (see https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-adms/#owl-versioninfo).

@agreiner - https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/1275#issuecomment-727094882

> I think both those examples would have happily preferred a dcat:version had it been available, and neither was in a position to mint their own, so it's not surprising that they would use what was available, whether or not it was a strong choice.
