Re: [dxwg] Generalize domain of dcat:distribution (#1576)

To add to @makxdekkers' comment, the intentionally broad definition of `dcat:Dataset` would allow you to include the other assets you were referring to (websites, software tools etc.).
 
In the European Data Catalogue, ontologies and controlled vocabularies are typed as `dcat:Dataset`. `dct:type` is then used to specialise them as a particular type of dataset. For example, this is how the [Eurovoc thesaurus](https://data.europa.eu/api/hub/repo/datasets/eurovoc.rdf) is encoded:
```
<dcat:Dataset rdf:about="http://data.europa.eu/88u/dataset/eurovoc">
    <dct:type>
        <skos:Concept rdf:about="http://publications.europa.eu/resource/authority/dataset-type/THESAURUS"/>
```
A similar approach was used for assets that may not seem “obvious” members of the dcat:Dataset class in the mapping done (@andrea-perego)  from [DataCite to DCAT](https://ec-jrc.github.io/datacite-to-dcat-ap/#alignment-issues-resource-types). 

[ADMS ](https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-adms/#asset-type) is a vocabulary for describing semantic assets. The latest release is available at: https://semiceu.github.io/ADMS/releases/2.00/
