Re: [dxwg] definitions clarifications of conforms to (#1130)

@smrgeoinfo I don't understand this statement:

>CatalogRecord.conformsTo should identify the 'standard' that the dcat record at CatalogRecord.foaf:PrimaryTopic conforms to 

because I don't see how that could be expressed as an RDF triple. `dct:conformsTo` can't reify to `foaf:primaryTopic` via `CatalogRecord.foaf:PrimaryTopic`. The statement:
```
ex:catalogRecord1 dct:conformsTo ex:DCATv2
```

is a statement about the specification of the rules for the catalog record, and only the catalog record. It seems to me that since `foaf:primaryTopic` has as its object the `dcat:Resource` that the statements:

```
ex:resource rdf:type dcat:Resource
ex:resource dct:conformsTo ex:standard1
```
cover your case. For the other two examples you give I concur.
