Regarding the classes in DC terms, most of them can be seen as subclasses of <code>prov:Entities</code> (with some exceptions like <code>dct:Agent</code> or <code>dct:ProvenanceStatement</code>).
- In general, these classes represent types of resources or metadata that can be described with the properties shown in <a href="#categories">Table 2</a>, thus included in the "What" category.
+ In general, these classes represent types of resources or metadata that can be described with the properties shown in <a href="#categories">Table 2</a>, thus most of them are included in the "Descriptive Metadata" category.
Although the usage of these classes is reduced when compared to the adoption of the DC term properties, we have also included them as part of the mapping. DCMI Type Vocabulary terms have been
excluded from the mapping, as they are not part of the core vocabulary (using a different namespace URI: <a href="http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/">http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/</a>).
+ A list of the classes can be seen in <a href="#categories-classes">Table 3</a>.
<!--Despite being relevant for provenance,
this definition may overlap partially with almost half of the DCMI terms, which
specify concrete aspects of provenance of a resource.-->
