[oslc-core] Naming Conventions

[Martin Nally]

While we're at it we could maybe improve the grammar. It would feel better
to me if the terms chosen looked more like nouns than verbs - saying
something is "a oslc:Create" is awkward. How about the following

oslc:create     -> oslc:Creation
oslc:update   -> oslc:Modification
oslc:delete    -> oslc:Deletion

It would be nice to e able to say "an" instead of just "a", but we can't do
that without W3C.

Best regards, Martin
