I wonder if it is worthwhile acknowledging (at least to ourselves) that the ranges of dct:publisher, dct:accrualPeriodicity, dct:spatial, dct:temporal, dcat:granularity, dcat:theme could be at odds with the
Simple Transformation From Existing Catalog Data requirement. For example a dataset publisher may know that the dataset is about "Berlin, Germany" ... but they would have some work to do to figure
out what URI to use with dct:spatial. Similarly they may know that a dataset is published by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, but they will have to do some work to use a linkeddata friendly URI like <http://dbpedia.org/resource/NASA>.

Related notes:

The following related comment was made by Stuart Williams in an off-list exchange:

"I also think that we need to establish some practice as to whether literal or object values are expected for some of the ranges. eg. dcat:keyword on the one hand seems like a property that would have a literal value which would probably need to be scoped by a dcat:dataDictionary. OTOH if the keywords are formed as SKOS concepts then they (potentially) bring with them their membership of a SKOS ConceptScheme, metadata (inc. labels) for the 'keyword' and in anycase having a URI name disambiguates between similarly named concepts (ie. with common local names - whether '#' or '/' namespaces are being used)."
