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

The way I see this working is:

If we just have the metadata and the dataset, this is the diagram:

The URI identifies the dataset, and the metadata statements describe the dataset identified by the URI.
Now when we add the description of the catalog record, we get:

where the metadata for the metadata describes that metadata. In fact, the middle metadata **is** the catalog record; the `dcat:CatalogRecord` contains the set of metadata statements that describe the catalog record, the same way that the `dcat:Dataset` contains the metadata for the dataset, or the `dcat:Distribution` contains the metadata for the actual digital resource.
