Re: [dxwg] Make dcat:Dataset a subclass of prov:Entity

@aisaac yeah, OWA means you can use any property anywhere. Just need to keep an eye out for the consequent entailments, as I discussed above. I don't think there are any adverse consequences since the only constraint on prov:Entity of significance is that it is disjoint with prov:Activity. 

@riccardoAlbertoni very happy to nudge people along to the full glories of PROV with a 'pay as you go' approach. Adding the subclass axiom wouldn't cost anything in the short term unless there were some fierce SHACL rules as well. I can't see us going there in general  (though specific profiles of DCAT might). But I do see a benefit of adding the prov:Entity relationship now because it would tell users '_if you do want to record complex provenance metadata, then use PROV, rather than inventing something new_'.
