Explanation
It is proposed to add hierarchy Level (C) for the ISO 19115 metadata element in table 2/resource type - section 5.2 of Draft 6 of the GeoDCAT-AP specification.
The resource type is not an element of the ISO 19115 Core set of metadata. However there is an ISO 19115 metadata element (hierarchyLevel) for that which could be mentioned.

Comments
The corresponding element for resource type §1.3 in ISO19115:2003 is indeed hierarchyLevel. As you indicate, this cannot be included in the table, which only lists ISO10115 core elements.
The example in Annex II.3, does shows hierarchyLevel for resource type...
