[oslc-core] Adding "or" to the Simple Query Syntax

[Arthur Ryman]

I'd like to do a little poll on adding the boolean operator "or". It was 
previously omitted so I left it out. However, several people have asked 
why, and have claimed  that it is useful and too difficult to implement. 

If people feel strongly that we should include "or", I'll take the TO DO 
of investigating the complexity, i.e. is there a simple translation to 
SPARQL and SQL? This could get complex if we allow arbitrarily nested 
and/or expressions.
