Reconcile ontological types of same-named SAREF entities.

From saref-portal#4

To aid in identifying modelling discrepancies, here is the list of same-named SAREF entities that have differing entity types. The problem is user confusion as to which type of ontological entity to choose between, say either DatatypeProperty or ObjectProperty. [subClassOf relations are indicated within square brackets.] Recall that DatatypeProperty relates individuals to literal data as a range, and ObjectProperty relates individuals to other individuals also by range.
