Re: [sdw] Sample Collections (#1282)

> Is a new relationship class warranted?

Maybe. I can imagine many many different potential relationship types. 
In DCAT we managed this with a specific [dcat:Relationship class](https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dcat/#Class:Relationship), which is annotated with [dcat:hadRole](https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dcat/#Property:relationship_hadRole) whose value would be taken from a (controlled?) vocabulary - also see the [extended explanation](https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dcat/#UML-DCAT-Qualified-Relations). This pattern would probably work, right? 

DCAT is primarily concerned with datasets, though this structure is tied to the general `dcat:Resource` which is 'any catalogued thing'. So it could be re-used directly, but since SSN/SOSA doesn't use anything else from the DCAT namespace, it might be better to add it natively (and maybe declare some kind of equivalence). 

This probably merits a new issue.
