[oslc-core] Naming Conventions within ChangeLog proposal

[Steve K Speicher]

Might I suggest a couple alternatives to these as well:

> oslc:create    -> oslc:Creation 
This seems too general, is this what we want all of OSLC Core to mean by 
Creation?

  -> oslc:CreateEvent
Include more descriptive noun, since in general core namespace

  -> oslc_log:Creation 
Same as proposed but included within some change log namespace

> oslc:update    -> oslc:Modification
> oslc:delete    -> oslc:Deletion
Same as above

Thanks,
