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

Following up on this discussion, people may disagree if a semantic artefact is, or should be represented as, a dataset or not and this will have an impact on interoperability in some cases. 

However, the objective of this issue was to discuss if it makes sense for DCAT to generalise the domain of ```dcat:distribution```, which is currently ```dcat:Dataset```.

So, the point is if there are entities other than datasets that may use ```dcat:distribution```, then we could generalise the domain to be ```dcat:Resource``` instead of ```dcat:Dataset```.

This may not be important for those communities where "anything" may be represented as a dataset, but this becomes important for those communities in which a semantic artefact, or software, etc is not represented as a ```dcat:Dataset``` but they still have multiple distributions (representations/serialisations).

What do people think about generalising the domain of ```dcat:distribution``` to ```dcat:Resource```?
