Re: [dxwg] Clarify the scope of `dct:identifier` (#771)

If I understand your comment @andrea-perego, you seem to be saying the opposite of what @dr-shorthair is saying. An Identifier for a catalog record should be in the dcat:CatalogRecord; this would be gmd:fileIdentifier, but dcat:CatalogRecord does not include an identifier. My understanding is that identifier in the dcat:Resource identifies the described (subject) resource that the catalog record is about.  I think an explicit clarification of the intention is a *good* idea.  I see plenty of variation in the use of fileIdentifier in ISO because such clarity is also lacking in their definitions.  Many users don't get the distinction between the metadata record as a resource that is distinct from the resource it describes.
