Re: [dxwg] Definition of dcat:spatialResolutionInMeters incompatible/problematic with JSON-LD (#1536)

@jakubklimek  thanks for highlighting this issue. I think also that we should consider what is the objective here: namely DCAT.  The question we have to raise is what one wants to do with this property. 

I might be mistaken, but in so far I have not yet seen "calculations" happening with the DCAT descriptions. If the use of this property is to print on a webpage the value, then xsd:decimal is really fine. But then unfortunately JSON(-LD) users cannot use native json numeric types. 

Since this issue is at the core of bridging JSON to RDF, the issue is not limited to DCAT but to the use numeric values in all w3c vocabularies. I would like to see a solution that is workable for all rather then a specific approach in each vocabulary.  

Observe that in some cases the representation "3.45" is the expected representation (e.g. monetary values), while in others (e.g. the quantity of CO2 in the air) the double representation is the expected. For that reason I believe that the topic is beyond DCAT as such.
