rename 'keyword' to 'subject' or 'topic' #11

per comments from Karen Coyle

I'm not reacting well to the use of the term "keyword". This usually indicates informal topical access rather than structured access like skos concepts or classification schemes. I think that a term like "subject" or "topic" would be better understood as including the formal schemes.

note that the keyword implementation suggested in Appendix 1 allows for both informal 'tags' and concepts-- labels with URIs.
