Re: [dxwg] prof:inheritedFrom needs more convincing case and/or example (#642)

I removed the 'due for closing' because we still don't have a resolution for the main issue. We can try to move the question about artifacts and multiple artifacts to #769 but we still need a resolution here regarding prof:inheritedFrom. We have an [example](https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/642#issuecomment-459074960) that was provided by Nick (I think). Antoine asked for some [changes](https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/642#issuecomment-460583433) to the example, which I don't believe were done. [Richard](https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/642#issuecomment-461122975) questioned the need for inheritance, which is very much related to the question here, and gave a detailed example. [Vladimir](https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/642#issuecomment-463047005) replied that "So I think all these links and their cardinalities are not quite clear in the spec. As in another issue, the function of ResourceDescriptor should be crystal clear before we know where to put the links, and whether inheritedFrom is needed." This connects the ResourceDescriptor and cardinality issues with the main question on inheritance. They are linked and probably need to be resolved in concert with each other.

@smrgeoinfo @VladimirAlexiev @aisaac @rob-metalinkage @nicholascar 

What we need here is a conclusion, which would probably be a revised example (both in code and as a one or more use cases), and a clear definition of "inheritedFrom".
