You can also use bio (http://purl.org/vocab/bio/0.1/), as we do in the  
Open Library:

<bio:event>
<bio:Birth>
<dcterms:date>9 July 1901</dcterms:date>
</bio:Birth>
</bio:event>

There is also a date of birth (and date of death) in RDA (Resource  
description and Access):

http://rdvocab.info/ElementsGr2/dateOfBirth
http://rdvocab.info/ElementsGr2/dateOfDeath

Full date of birth is one of the more common and accurate  
triangulation points for identity theft and therefore shouldn't be  
used on open networks.
