Further recommended vocabulary entries for archival collections #783

Description

@azaroth42

On the call today, several organizations (including Yale, Takin, V&A, Virginia, docuteam) expressed the need for additional, more specific vocabulary entries for the different levels of archival hierarchy, such as fonds / subfonds / subseries and so forth.

This issue is to collect the named levels that are actively in use and their definitions in different systems or taxonomies.

In LUX, at the moment we only categorize things into Archives / something in the hierarchy other than the top level / digital or physical archival material. So we're not a good source for this, unfortunately.
Example: https://lux.collections.yale.edu/data/set/f20d8342-27ef-4a7c-9327-92c8e9d9940c

Getty has specific types, but they're in a local thesaurus.

The RiCO RST entries have some entires including Series and Fonds. @julsraemy to find out about stability of URIs and access to the SKOS records. Other external vocabularies and use would be great to collect here.
