[oslc-AssetMgmt] Usage of dcterms:type in latest spec

The CM spec is going through the process of deprecating its usage [1] so I 
wouldn't what 2.0 specs have done as a good example.

Your 2nd issue with Jena is an orthogonal issue and shouldn't drive the 
inclusion of this in the spec.

Either way, it doesn't appear from the resolutions on your issues page 
that what you described is where you landed.  You should consider 
reopening this.
