oslc:range property values.

At the last Core TC meeting I was assigned
the following actions:

Weaken the description of
range so that it is recommended types, not required types
Create an inventory of core
object properties that could have a type and propose
one
Send out an email with this
information and get feedback whether this should be included in the spec
or not. 
Below are the results. Take a look at
the proposed oslc:range values and see if these are 1) useful and 2) not
over-constraining server implementations or domain usages.

We should schedule a vote on this, and
if adopted I will add the oslc:range values to the property shapes.

1. oslc:range property description:

In the specification body: The object
resource SHOULD be any of the specified oslc:range types, but no inferencing
is intended if the actual target resource is or is not one of these types.
This is very different semantics than rdfs:range which does have inferencing
implications. 

This may already be weak enough.

in the shape file:  "For
object properties, an allowed object resource type." 
Change to: "For object properties,
specifies what the object resource type is expected to be, but that is
not necessarily the case." 

2. Proposed oslc:range values for object
properties:
