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

Thanks @dgarijo for starting the discussion and @makxdekkers and @ODP-hil for comment. 

Indeed, the discussion started when several in the FAIR-IMPACT group (and from previous discussions in FAIRsFAIR) proposed to derive ```mod:SemanticArtefact``` from ```dcat:Dataset```, and I agree with that view given the broad definition of dataset in DCAT.

However, a few people were opposed to this and would be more comfortable deriving from ```dcat:Resource```.

As the dichotomy dataset/distribution is important, and we want to re-use it for semantic artefacts, we thought that a compromise would be to derive from ```dcat:Resource``` but still use the```dcat:distribution``` property (and the relationship with ```dcat:Dataset``` would be inferred). The discussion is here and I will aim to summarise these points there too: https://github.com/FAIR-IMPACT/MOD/discussions/34

While I am on the view that we could use ```dcat:Dataset``` as ADMS does, there is the question of other resources (e.g. software) where there could still be a benefit of generalising ```dcat:distribution```.
