I have something similar that I use for stating the year the species was
described.

This is useful for sorting by year etc.  So +1

Note the datatype rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#gYear"


        From http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/v6n7p.html RDF
http://10.10.10.122:3000/ses/v6n7p.rdf
    <txn:yearDescribed rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#gYear
">1771</txn:yearDescribed>


*Ontology*

    <!-- http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ontology/txn.owl#yearDescribed -->

    <owl:DatatypeProperty rdf:about="
http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ontology/txn.owl#yearDescribed">
        <rdfs:label rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#gYear
">yearDescribed</rdfs:label>
        <rdfs:comment>The year that the species was originally
described</rdfs:comment>
        <rdfs:isDefinedBy rdf:resource="
http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ontology/txn.owl"/>
        <rdfs:range rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#gYear"/>
    </owl:DatatypeProperty>
