John, there are two "types" in the Change Request resource:

One is the OSLC type (which is in the namespace rdf) which is part of the
core spec
The other is a CM specific property (though IMHO other specs such as RM
should also adopt) which is the "type of change request" such as "Defect"
or "Enhancement".  That's not a core property, but does use dcterms:type.
