dataset descriptions

Hi all,
  on today's call we got some feedback from Chris Mungall, Melissa Haendel,
and Harry Hochheiser. Chris asked whether (and how), we could make
arbitrary collections, for instance, chembl-rdf as a dataset (without
necessarily specifying the version). i wondered if perhaps we could
generalize our "version level" to a "subset level", which could very well
include version subsets.

I also wondered whether this subset level description could point to the
distribution level descriptions as sources used in creating it, as more
abstract than our previous distribution-to-distribution case.

 what do you think?
