AW: application facing lifecycle, data and interaction model for things

In Montreal, Victor, Taki and myself have been asked to look into how we could express datatypes in a thing description and so we did.

Please have a look and feel free to comment on what has been done so far.
I think we should try to find common agreement.

Thanks,
