[from JG's 2009-12-04 email] What capability do you want added or improved? API to modify a term's fields (definition, comments, whatever) Where do you want this capability to be accessible? In the main ORR service What sort of input/command mechanism do you want? An HTTP POST call where I can provide:

• username/password
• Ontology URI
• the URI of the term to be modified
• values for the term's properties What is the desired output (content, format, location)? A textual response (perhaps in XML) indicating the result of the operation:
  i) success, confirming the modification and the term URI; ii) error,
  including the reason of the error.

Other details of your desired capability?

0. In contrast with issue Insert term in vocabulary #231 (addition of a new term), the modification
   of an existing term does seem to require the creation of a new version of
   the vocabulary.

1. An HTML form should be included to illustrate the required information
   (and demonstrate the functionality).

2. A programmatic example (in java) showing how to use the service.
