Re: [dxwg] dcat property for subsets ? (#1527)

> If a classification system (A) is coherent and covering (non-overlapping, no gaps) for its scope, if an individual class (C1) in the system is updated such that it changes the classification of other entities, then the update is breaking, and the classification system with the new concept (C1) MUST be identified as a new classification system (B)

I agree but this is NOT what the original use-case describes. The use-case is that a class in a given classification system A is described with **explanatory notes**, and these explanatory notes changes over time, but this does **not** lead a reclassification of entities, so we are not creating a new classification system B. And the history of the notes is kept.

So basically, the question is what would be the recommended practice between:

1. Keeping a single Dataset and multiple distributions, some distributions with full note history, some distributions without complete history of notes (just the latest version). And in that case how to identify/link/tag note-history-complete-distributions vs. only-current-note-version-distributions. 
2. Declaring 2 different Datasets : ex:classificationA-WithFullNoteHistory and ex:classificationA-WithOnlyMostCurrentNotes, and how to identify/link/tag those 2 datasets

For more details and regarding what XKOS suggests in terms of versioning of notes in statistical classification, see http://linked-statistics.github.io/xkos/xkos-best-practices.html#bp-notes-versioning-timestamping
