Align class and property descriptions with the new DCAT scope #36

Closed andrea-perego closed 3 years ago

Related issue: SEMICeu/DCAT-AP/issues/128

Property and class descriptions are not taking into account that the scope of the new version of DCAT includes other resource types (e.g., data services).

They should be updated accordingly, by replacing catalogue and datasets with the general notion of Resource (dcat:Resource).

If this revision will be implemented, it would be desirable that future versions of DCAT-AP be aligned accordingly.

Relevant changes made via PR https://github.com/SEMICeu/GeoDCAT-AP/pull/42

Revisions have been made by listing, when necessary, the different classes / resource types to which a class / property description refers.

The term "resource" was never used in the narrow sense of dcat:Resource without a proper qualification, and always complemented with the list of relevant resource types - e.g., "a resource documented in a Catalogue (as a Data Service, Dataset, or another Catalogue)".
