ADMS changes in prep for publication as a Note

As those on the call today will know, I've spent today on ADMS and i 
need to record what I've done as several changes are not trivial.

The new version is available at 
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/gld/raw-file/default/adms/index.html

High level
=========
ADMS has been brought much more into line with the thinking and actions 
taken over our other vocabularies. I have posited ADMS as a profile of 
DCAT, defined adms:SemanticAsset as a sub class of dcat:Dataset etc. and 
re-used as much of DCAT as possible.

Declaring ADMS to be a profile of DCAT is something that today's meeting 
agreed to check with Fadi and the WG at large. It feels right but needs 
those closer to DCAT to confirm. Makx took an action item to follow up 
on this. If needs be, I can remove text that says ADMS is a profile of 
DCAT and remove the sub class relationships.

All mention of RADion has been removed.

The only mention of XML is that an XML schema is available along with 
the original European Commission publication. ADMS is defined purely as 
an RDF vocab.

Overall, the document is very much simpler than the much more 
comprehensive original document that Makx created last year - because it 
has a lot less to do.

Specifics
=========
adms:accessURL has been removed, replaced by dcat:accessURL and 
dcat:downloadURL

dcat:landingPage replaces foaf:homepage.

Text for dcat:accessURL, dcat:downloadURL and dcat:landingPage has been 
copied verbatim from DCAT.

dcterms:alternative has been replaced by skos:altLabel.

dcterms:title replaces rdfs:label

dcat:mediaType added and dcterms:format has been retained as in DCAT. 
(adms:representationTechnique is unchanged as well).

dcat:keyword replaces radion:keyword

dcterms:issued replaces dcterms:created. I have used my preferred 
wording for date strings (see 
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-gld-comments/2013Apr/0008.html)

I am about to actively seek feedback from the existing user-base of ADMS 
and hope to bring that to the F2F meeting next week. Other comments are, 
of course, welcome. I'm hoping to seek approval to publish this as a WG 
Note during the meeting.

Phil.
