What capability do you want added or improved?
API to deprecate a term. (well, this capability can also be provided in the
ORR portal)

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 deprecated
• optionally, URI of the term that should be used instead

What is the desired output (content, format, location)?
A textual response (perhaps in XML) indicating the result of the operation:
i) success, confirming the deprecation; deprecated term URI; and URI of the
term that should be used (if given); ii) error, including the reason of the
error.

Other details of your desired capability?

0. Similarly as with issue Modify a term's fields (definition, comments, whatever) #232 (modification of a term), the deprecation
   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.
