For me the above modelings are different. When modeling real world  entities I would use the second case, because it allows to express the temporal dimension semantics.
The first I would use in the context of temporal reasoning, after selecting the temporal dimension semantics. 

These are different use-cases, and unfortunately when reading quickly the examples one get the impression that the first case is the desired usage. It took me a while and (re)reading to understand what was happening in the examples. That is the motivation for this comment.


So an example where an event/business entity is modeled with 2 or more temporal dimensions illustrating the second case would be helpful.

```
ex:dataset1
     dct:issued ex:time1
     dct:modified ex:time2
```
