Data types for each field can be specified in an external XML Schema file.

Turtle

@prefix dc: <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/> .
_:1 dc:title "Example One"; dc:date "2014-02-26" .
_:2 dc:title "Example Two"; dc:date "2014-02-27" .

or

_:1 <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/title> "Example One"; <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/date> "2014-02-26" .
_:2 <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/title> "Example Two"; <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/date> "2014-02-27" .

All fields have data types implied by the predicate, but - to be explicit - add @en to the title field and ^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#date> to the date field.
