Re: Inconsistent capitalization of "multiwordexpression" between the specification and the ontology

Hi Armando,

I would tend to agree, however in this case the correct English spelling is
unclear, so that Oxford <https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/multi-word>only
accepts 'multi-word', while Wiktionary
<https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/multi-word>accepts both 'multi-word' and
'multiword' (which Google adds a red squiggly line to on my computer). As
such, I think we could go for either spelling and I would like to avoid
deprecating terms.

Regards,
John
