Agreed. Classes are used as nouns in triples so using nouns to name classes makes the triples more readable.

It would feel better to me if the terms chosen looked more like nouns than verbs - saying something is "a oslc:Create" is awkward. How about the following oslc:create -> oslc:Creation oslc:update -> oslc:Modification oslc:delete -> oslc:Deletion It would be nice to e able to say "an" instead of just "a", but we can't do that without W3C.
