[oslc-core] Validating changes to JSON representation guidance: eliminating usage of oslc:qname and change rdf:type to array

[Steve K Speicher]

The proposed change is to fix a couple of redundant property (oslc:qname) 
and fix type of another property (rdf:type).  This was discussed at the 
last OSLC Core WG meeting [1]

If there are no objections, I can make the changes to appropriate places. 
I have confirmed that there is no impact to known existing consumers of 
this change.

So this old example:
{ 
   "prefixes" : {
      "oslc": "http://open-services.net/ns/core#",
      "rdf" : "http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#",
      "foaf" : "http://http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/",
      "dcterms" : "http://purl.org/dc/terms/"
   },
   "oslc:qname" : "oslc_blog:Entry",
   "rdf:type" : { "rdf:resource" : "
http://open-services.net/ns/bogus/blogs#Entry" },
   "rdf:about" : "http://example.com/blogs/entry/1",
   "dcterms:title" : "I love trash"
}

would become:

{ 
   "prefixes" : {
      "oslc": "http://open-services.net/ns/core#",
      "rdf" : "http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#",
      "foaf" : "http://http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/",
      "dcterms" : "http://purl.org/dc/terms/"
   },
   "rdf:type" : [{ "rdf:resource" : "
http://open-services.net/ns/bogus/blogs#Entry" }],
   "rdf:about" : "http://example.com/blogs/entry/1",
   "dcterms:title" : "I love trash"
}


The specifications and guidance documents affected would be (non-inclusive
