Otherwise we just delete the text, and maybe link to the bbox definition in Wikipedia.
> - About "use a set of coordinates to specify the boundaries of the area either as a bounding box (add glossary ref) or a polygon", DCAT does not provide guidance on how to do that (in the examples, it uses a Geonames URI), and this was one of the gaps to be addressed when developing GeoDCAT-AP. We actually have an example in the BP doc on how to do that, so I think it would be good to add a link.
