Re: [dxwg] Confusion between major classes as newly defined in DCAT

The use of the term 'resource' is always confusing if you only look at the term itself. 
In DCAT, it are things published or curated by a single agent. (Note that the definition of https://w3c.github.io/dxwg/dcat/#Class:Resource defines 'resource' as a 'resource' -- so probably has to be made more explicit, like "Parent class for Datasets, DataServices and any other things described in a Catalog)
In CKAN, “resources” are said to "hold the data itself", so there it is used as a superclass for anything that can be associated to a dataset.
In RDF, resources are "All things described by RDF".
As I argued before, it is essential to consider the definition of a term in a particular context and not what someone would think that a terms means.
