[dxwg] DCAT: Refer to a Post, not an individual Agent (#1625)

== DCAT: Refer to a Post, not an individual Agent ==
Using DACT, how can I relate a Resource to a named post [1], rather than an individual Person?

e.g., "XYZ Section Data Manager" or "GIS Coordinator".

ISO19115 [2] allows this by indicating an Individual but with online a _positionName_ property, e.g., from the standard's own examples (p 133):

```
pointOfContact: (CI_Responsibility) 
    role: (CI_RoleCode) originator 
    party: (CI_Organisation) 
    name: Department of Primary Industries and Resources SA 
    individual: (CI_Individual)
        positionName: GIS Coordinator
    contactInfo: (CI_Contact) 
        phone: (CI_Telephone)  
        voice: 61 8 8463 3306
    ...
```
