Data Type:
Date
The official date of birth of a person, as evidenced by a resource officially owned by, operated by, or directly affiliated with the person stating their birth date. Official documentation, such as a birth certificate, may also provide evidence.
Citation Requirement
Recommended - A citation is recommended for triples with this predicate.
Example of Proper Usage
- 'Mark Zuckerberg' → 'Date of Birth' → '1984-05-14', citation: https://www.facebook.com/zuck/about_contact_and_basic_info 1. This citation points to an official page for Mark Zuckerberg (as further evidenced by Facebook's 'blue check' on the profile) that states Mark Zuckerberg's birthday.
Example of Improper Usage
- 'Apple' → 'Date of Birth' → '1976-04-01' is incorrect, as an entity with 'is a' → 'company' cannot have a date of birth.
