Re: [dxwg] DCAT files import wrong Dublin Core URL (#1312)

I just tested http://purl.org/dc/terms/ and got good RDF representations of Dublin Core when using the HTTP header "Accept: application/rdf+xml" and "Accept: text/turtle".  In fact the latter is identical to what you get from https://www.dublincore.org/specifications/dublin-core/dcmi-terms/dublin_core_terms.ttl . IMAO the shorter URI (which corresponds to the dcterms namespace) is a better target for import. 

However, it is true that the optimum object of `<owl:imports>` is poorly understood and weakly specified. While it can be useful in showing all the members of a dependency in an IDE, it is not necessary to `import` a namespace in order to mention elements from it in another graph. Perhaps it would be better to remove all imports from the official release, and then let users load dependencies using the facilities provided in their tools, when and if they need to.
