[oslc-core] Behavior of oslc.where clauses in case of "multi-valued" properties

[Denilson Nastacio]

Assuming http://server/resource/query URL that return IPNetwork instances,
would the above resource show up in query with the following oslc.where
clauses:

Would the resource below ...

           <oslc:property>4</oslc:property>
           <oslc:property>5</oslc:property>
           ...
       </oslc:IPNetwork>
    </rdf:RDF>

...show up in these two queries?

   http://server/resource/query?oslc.where = property <= 4
   http://server/resource/query?oslc.where = property != 4
   http://server/resource/query?oslc.where = property = 4

At the heart of the question is the meaning of the comparison operator in
cases of multiple matching triples:
- **At least one** matching triple meets the criteria" or
- **Each** matching triple meets the criteria")

I am guessing the answer depends on the individual operator, but consulting
the larger group.
