To use rdfs:comment instead of saref:hasDescription

Situation: There exists rdfs:comment, which is the recommended property to add a description to a concept. However, there is people already using the property (e.g., https://innoweb.mondragon.edu/ontologies/dabgeo/application_context/application_type/home_appliances_dr/appliancephase/1.1/index-en.html).

Proposal: To use rdfs:comment instead of saref:hasDescription and deprecate saref:hasDescription.

Status: agreed during SmartM2M-RG Meeting about 2 NWIs SAREFv3 and SAREF Com Framework V2 2019-04-08
