[oslc-core] Naming Conventions

[Arthur Ryman]

Agreed. Classes are used as nouns in triples so using nouns to name 
classes makes the triples more readable.

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
