Re: [dxwg] Change domain or create superclass of dcat:Distribution (#317)

Thanks @makxdekkers - I think you are suggesting that there are more than enough classes available in existing vocabularies to enable suitable typing of the target of `dct:relation` properties. That is true, though it does require users to be familiar with the options. I guess I was trying to gather them together in the scope of DCAT but I'll stop now. 

Regarding this phrasing 
> the definition of dcat:Distribution now states: "represents an accessible form or representation of a dataset ..." so it "represents ... a representation". 

Yes, that is unfortunate. The noun 'representation' in this sentence is a nod to Fielding's 'REST' principle, where it contributes the 'R'. You will also recall that an earlier iteration of the definition avoided the repetition as it read "_describes_ an accessible form or representation of a dataset ...", but then either you or @kcoyle requested the change! But probably not necessary to introduce this in the overview - it is clarified in the normative clause anyway.
