Re: DCAT comments

Hello Makx,

The changes applied are all editorial and do not change compliance specification of DCAT.
The changes are summarised at: https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/gld/raw-file/default/dcat/index.html#change-history

Can you please be more specific regarding which changes might contradict with the DCAT-AP or need more discussion?

Regards,
Fadi Maali
