+1...Names are important; dc:title and dc:description will likely lead
to stronger, less ambiguous values for these fields.

+1...dc:issued implies "first appeared" and is better than "created,"
"published," etc....Also, dc:date could refer ambiguously to other
dates in the lifecycle.

+1...Good to specify connections between the recommendations like this.

+1...dc:subject is more intuitive and should be primary. dcat:theme
seems more dependent on interpretation...

Yes. Thanks, Richard!
