Re: [dxwg] Funding source [RFS] (#66)

I have similar concerns to @makxdekkers about being tied too closely to one (admittedly important) application. As I showed above, the funder information is already available through two property chains:  

1. via a `proj:Project` instance 
```
( prov:wasGeneratedBy  proj:wasFundedThrough  prov:agent ) 
```

2. via a qualified relationship with an agent
```
( prov:qualifiedAttribution prov:agent )
```
when the value of dcat:hadRole is http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd or http://registry.it.csiro.au/def/isotc211/CI_RoleCode/funder. 

But it is always a balance - common information should be easy to find, but how many roles should have their own predicates. We know that the old Dublin Core terms `creater`, `contributor` and `publisher` are not enough, so a scalable attribution facility is important. The MARC Relators and ISO CI_RoleCode vocabularies cover most bases, so perhaps that's enough? I guess it would be optimal if we were able to recommend one of these. While it is from the GI domain, the ISO list does have the advantage that it is mixed in with a whole load of other stuff ...
