developmentStatus expected types

[ljgarcia]

Hello, currently, codemeta:developmentStatus only accepts schema:Text as expected type, and suggests using terms from https://www.repostatus.org/. However, https://www.repostatus.org/ also offer their terms in JSON-LD. Would you consider adding schema:URL and schema:DefinedTerm as expected range of codemeta:developmentStatus?

If no objections here by mid April, let's consider it for the v4.0.
Any volunteers to do a PR for it?

There is a new term in schema.org called "creativeWorkStatus" that aligns well with the codemeta term "developmentStatus". We were able to easily include all the pieces needed there.

"creativeWorkStatus": {
        "@id": "https://www.repostatus.org/#active",
        "@type": "DefinedTerm",
        "name": "Active",
        "description": "The project has reached a stable, usable state and is being actively developed.",
        "inDefinedTermSet": "https://www.repostatus.org",
        "image": "https://www.repostatus.org/badges/latest/active.svg"
     },

Perhaps this term can be used instead of the previous one?

It looks like this was discussed in #244, and the decision of the group was to propose developmentStatus as a subproperty of creativeWorkStatus.
That said, we could revisit it. We should at least allow developmentStatus to be used like in your example

I volunteer to do a PR to expand the range of developmentStatus with Text or DefinedTerm to align with the schema.org creativeWorkStatus
