Re: [dxwg] Use of dct:type with both Class and Concept (#314)

I take most solace from @tombaker comment that 

> DCMI went perhaps a step too far when it originally assigned a formal range of rdfs:Class [for dct:type] because rdf:type already had a range of rdfs:Class

I had always seen `dct:type` as a way of adding additional classifiers that were *not* `rdfs:Class` since there was already a home for those (i.e. `rdf:type`!) `dct:type` should not duplicate the functionality of `rdf:type`. It appears this has not been fixed in the most recent version of DC - https://www.dublincore.org/specifications/dublin-core/dcmi-terms/terms/type/ has no range restriction any more. 

So I think we can close this issue as it is no longer valid.
