Re: [dxwg] Inconsistency between usage note of dcat:themeTaxonomy and range of dcat:theme? (#1153)

The range actually assigns all values of dcat:theme the class of skos:Concept. 

>3.1 rdfs:range

>dfs:range is an instance of rdf:Property that is used to state that the values of a property are instances of one or more classes.

"... *are* instances ..." This is regardless of whether the value of dcat:theme has elsewhere been defined in a taxonomy using SKOS. 

It would be interesting to understand the functional purpose; perhaps this aids in queries by class rather than by property? Presumably this was discussed long ago, so no one may remember at this point.
