Re: [dxwg] semantics of the dcat:bbox attribute could (should?) be more explicit (#1392)

Trying to summarise the results of the discussion in this thread, and outlining possible actions:

1. Improve the definition of `dcat:bbox` & `dcat:centroid`: @JoepvanGenuchten , @bertvannuffelen , thanks for highlighting the ambiguity of the term "resource" in the current definition of these properties. We'll discuss this issue in one of the next DCAT meetings.
2. Re-use reference vocabularies for use cases where DCAT spatial properties are not enough: The new version of GeoSPARQL can do the job, also because it addresses those gaps that led to the definition of spatial properties in the DCAT namespace. 

About point (2), there's of course the issue of having two alternative ways to specify the same information, which does not help interoperability. However, this might be mitigated by defining mappings, as explained by @dr-shorthair .

@JoepvanGenuchten , @bertvannuffelen , are you happy with this summary? Is there anything I left out?
