COAR vocabulary "Resource Type" update

[ACz-UniBi]

COAR has been released two new versions in 2021:

• v2.0 , 2021-03: https://vocabularies.coar-repositories.org/resource_types/2.0/
• v3.0 , 2021-07: https://vocabularies.coar-repositories.org/resource_types/3.0/

Currently, the guidelines use the "Resource Type" vocabulary v1.1 from 2016. Which is not mentioned in the XSD, #12

To make the guidelines backwards compatible, the new terms from version 3.0 are added and the removed terms are marked as deprecated, which means that they will be removed in a future version of the guidelines.

On 2022-09-29, COAR published the v3.1 at https://vocabularies.coar-repositories.org/resource_types/3.1/ .
Additional line in the changelog mentioned the change:

• Serbian translations added

The OpenAIRE Guidelines for institutional and thematic repositories use the persistant urls and for labeling the english terms.

No action seems to be required.

To briefly summarize some discussion emails with the Guidelines team:

A precise classification of each vocabulary term is useful and assist the manager.

The suggestion is to include this in the v4.1-rc .

Additionally to the last comment, this would also clarify the question from issue #43.
