The type for [=heritage objects=] ([[DERA]]’s *cultuurhistorisch object*) in this application profile. Some heritage objects fit CreativeWork well, such as paintings, books or musical compositions. Others are a less natural fit, such as fossils, buses or bridges, either because they are not ‘creative works’ in the everyday sense or because they fit somewhere else in Schema.org’s type hierarchy. Nevertheless, CreativeWork serves as the catch-all type for all heritage objects in this application profile, to differentiate them from the other top-level classes (Person, Organization, Place). For more fine-grained typing, [[#CreativeWork-additionalType]] *SHOULD* be used.
The CreativeWork’s name or title, assigned either by its creator, collection managers or by others.
A *REQUIRED* property that identifies the person(s) or organization(s) that had a role in the production of the CreativeWork. If a [=term=] is available, that MUST be referenced. If not, a Person or Organization resource *MUST* be used instead. The type *MAY* be omitted if the dataset publisher does not know whether the creator is a Person or Organization. Even where more specific properties, applicable to CreativeWork’s subtypes, are available in Schema.org, such as [artist](https://schema.org/artist), [composer](https://schema.org/composer) and [director](https://schema.org/director), the creator property *MUST* be used for consistency.
Points to the dataset(s) that the CreativeWork is part of, *REQUIRED* if the CreativeWork is part of one or more datasets. This contextualizes the CreativeWork for consumers, with the [[NDE-DATASETS|dataset’s description]] providing information about properties that are shared between CreativeWorks in the same dataset, such as publisher and license. Note that a CreativeWork may be part of multiple datasets. The dataset *MUST* be typed as a `Dataset`. The `isPartOf` property *MAY* also be used to indicate hierarchical relations between CreativeWorks within the dataset. In that case, the value’s type will be something other than `Dataset`. This usage is out of scope for this document.
Indicating the dataset that the CreativeWork is part of:
One or more media objects that represent the CreativeWork. This property is *REQUIRED* if at least one media object is available. If an IIIF Presentation API manifest is available for the CreativeWork, it *MUST* be included as an additional `associatedMedia` entry of type MediaObject with: - `@id` set to the manifest URI - `encodingFormat` set to `application/ld+json;profile='http://iiif.io/api/presentation/3/context.json'`. See MediaObject for this property’s allowed values.
An image representation of the Starry Night:
IIIF Image API and Presentation manifest as `associatedMedia`:
An *OPTIONAL* property that provides a unique identifier for the CreativeWork, usually an assigned alphanumeric string. The identifier may be useful for referencing the CreativeWork in non-RDF contexts, such as exhibitions. Note that this is different from the CreativeWork’s URI. The value *MUST* be either a string or a [schema:PropertyValue](https://schema.org/PropertyValue).
A structured PropertyValue as identifier:
An *OPTIONAL* property that provides additional types for the CreativeWork. This is useful to add more specific types to your [=metadata record=] that may not be available as a Schema.org [[#subclasses|subclass]]. The value *MUST* reference [=terms=].
The Starry Night is both a Schema.org Painting and an AAT painting:
An *OPTIONAL* property that gives a full description of the CreativeWork.
Summarizes the CreativeWork in one sentence. The abstract *SHOULD* be free of jargon and abbreviations so it can be understood by others.
An *OPTIONAL* property containing the complete textual content of the CreativeWork, primarily used for search indexing and discovery. This includes content such as: - the full text of a written work (e.g. story) - transcribed text from visual media (e.g., inscriptions in photographs). Note that this property contains plain text only, without preserving structural elements like paragraphs, headings or the relationship between text and embedded media.
Indicates the physical size of the CreativeWork in its preferred display form.

Indicates the location(s) depicted or described in the CreativeWork. For example, the location in a photograph or painting. If available, a term *MUST* be referenced. If not, a Place resource *MUST* be used instead.
Indicates the period that the content applies to, i.e. that the time period(s) that the CreativeWork describes or depicts. The value *MUST* be either a DateTime or a time period in ISO 8601 time interval format.
Indicates the location(s) where the CreativeWork was created (which may be different from its contentLocation). If available, a term *MUST* be referenced. If not, a Place resource *MUST* be used instead.
Indicates the date the CreativeWork was created. The value *MUST* be in ISO 8601 format: YYYY, YYYY-MM, or YYYY-MM-DD. Partial dates *MAY* be used if the exact date is unknown.
Van Gogh painted The Starry Night in June 1889:
Indicates the subject-matter of the CreativeWork. For example, which subjects are depicted in a painting or photograph? Or which subjects is a story about? And/or which CreativeWork (e.g. collection object) is this CreativeWork (story) about? The value *MUST* either reference terms or other CreativeWork(s). If the subject is a location, it *MUST* be listed under contentLocation instead.
The Starry Night depicts ‘starry sky’ and ‘Moon’.
Indicates the material(s) that the CreativeWork is made from, e.g. leather, wool, cotton, paper. The value *MUST* reference terms.
The Starry Night is made from ‘oil paint’ and ‘canvas’:

Indicates the date when the [=metadata record=] was last changed. The value *MUST* be in ISO 8601 format: `YYYY-MM-DD` or `YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ`.
If the type of a creator is not known, the type *MAY* be omitted. A name is still *REQUIRED* to identify the creator.
A *REQUIRED* property that indicates the creator’s name in its preferred display form.
A vocabulary term referenced by sameAs. A name and sameAs are *REQUIRED*.
A *REQUIRED* property that indicates the term’s preferred label.
A *REQUIRED* property that references the term in a controlled vocabulary.
If a [=metadata record=] is a person, it *MUST* be typed as `Person`. If a [=term=] is available for the person, that *MUST* be [[#reference-terms|referenced]]. If not, the person *MUST* be defined by the required properties listed below. The objective for the Person model is not to fully describe all aspects of a person, but to easily identify and distinguish between similar persons.
A *REQUIRED* property that indicates the Person’s full name in its preferred display form. The name *MUST NOT* contain information that belongs to other properties, such as birthDate or deathDate.
An *OPTIONAL* property that indicates the person’s date of birth in ISO 8601 format: `YYYY-MM-DD`. Partial dates *MAY* be used if the exact date is unknown: `YYYY` or `YYYY-MM`.
An *OPTIONAL* property that references the person’s place of birth. The value *MUST* reference a [=term=]. If no term is available, a custom Place resource *MUST* be used.
An *OPTIONAL* property that indicates the person’s date of death in ISO 8601 format: `YYYY-MM-DD`. Partial dates *MAY* be used if the exact date is unknown: `YYYY` or `YYYY-MM`.
An *OPTIONAL* property that references the person’s place of death. The value *MUST* reference a term, or, if no term is available, a custom Place resource *MUST* be used.

An *OPTIONAL* property that indicates the Organization’s location, useful for distinguishing the organization from others with similar names. See Place for this property’s allowed values.
In case of image, video, audio or 3d model objects, in addition to the `MediaObject` class, the relevant subclass *MUST* be used: - ImageObject - VideoObject - AudioObject - 3DModel For other types of media, the generic class MediaObject *MUST* be used by itself.
A REQUIRED property that points to the URI for a license under which the digital reproduction may be used. This concerns the use of the reproduction, not of the heritage object itself. The value *MUST* be the canonical URI of a license. For example, use https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ instead of http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.nl. The value *SHOULD* be an open license that allows the media to consumed, for example one of the [Creative Commons](https://creativecommons.org/choose/) licenses.

If an IIIF Image API for the MediaObject is available, this *MUST* be specified through `isBasedOn` with: - `@id` set to the IIIF base URI, without the `/info.json` suffix - `encodingFormat` set to `application/ld+json;profile='http://iiif.io/api/image/3/context.json'`. Even though full-sized and thumbnail images can be derived by IIIF-compatible consumers, the `contentUrl` and `thumbnailUrl` properties *MUST* still be provided for non-IIIF consumers. A simple formula for building image URLs from an IIIF Image API URL: - Full-size (`contentUrl`): `https://example.com/iiif/image-id/full/max/0/default.jpg` - Thumbnail (`thumbnailUrl`): `https://example.com/iiif/image-id/full/!256,256/0/default.jpg`
For properties that reference locations, if no term is available, a custom Place resource *MUST* be used instead.
A *REQUIRED* property that indicates the name of the place.
