[dxwg] How to specify the number of records in a dataset (#1571)

nichtich has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/dxwg:

== How to specify the number of records in a dataset ==
I could not find any information how to express the *number of records in a dataset* (also known as its *size*). There was a deprecated property `dcat:size`  subclass of `dcterms:extent`, so my guess would be to just use `dcterms:extent` (with any kind of value: number, string, blank node, URL...) or a more specific property from another vocabulary (e.g. [statistics properties from void vocabulary](https://www.w3.org/TR/void/#statistics)). The general size of a dataset in terms of conceptual entities (records, concepts, resources, objects...) is fundamental information, so dcat should at least mention the topic, explain why there is no strictly defined property and refer to `dcterms:extent`.
