Makx, I am really confused now. In what moment of this discussion I proposed to change this model? My participation in this post was motivated exactly because I have identified a proposal to change that model and I expressed my opinion to contribute. And, again, the word abstract was not introduced by me in this post. And this word was the main reason for my opinion. I commented to take care using the words abstract and instance. I also agree that the group don't have to change the DCAT model (we don't have time to that), but I don't see any problem If someone in the group identifiy things missing in that model, and we discuss and even decide to insert a note in our document about this. But as all the things in the group, is a matter of proposals and votings.
