Definitions Missing #188

Suggestion

The following assumes that "definition" is being used as described in the SKOS specification (Supplies a complete explanation of the intended meaning of the type). Several terms in the openDS are missing definitions or contain circular definitions where the term is used to define the term itself. Example Term: ods:Assertion (class) Definition: The Assertion of the digital specimen This definition doesn't help me understand what assertion is meant to represent in this context.

Yes we also noticed this for several terms. I have created issues for those terms, where we actually had a problem to understand the intended meaning, but there are probably more.

Thanks for the feedback! We will go over all definitions and improve them, avoiding any circular definitions.
