[oslc-core] Drop oslc:describes from oslc:ResourceShape

[Tack Tong]

Reporting has use case for it.

It does not necessarily has to tied to a type. However, we need know what
the Resource Shape is for, if not for a type, in the context of query.

I'd like to raise this issue for discussion. Here's the description:

Resource Shapes - #25 - OPEN?- We do not want to enable rigid schemas
and we're not convinced that Resource Shapes are useful beyond
resource creation, query and possibly a constrained form of update.
So, we should not tie shapes to types and theoslc:describes?property
should be removed from the?oslc:ResourceShape?class (DaveJohnson,
06/14/2010).

Do we have any use cases that depend on oslc:describes? Anybody object
to dropping this property?

Thanks,
- Dave
