Having both a vocabulary entry and abbreviation class is redundant

With respect to the ontologies, deprecating this class and replacing it where appropriate with the relevant restrictions will allow for broader usage and eliminate ambiguity.

Note that the resolution to this issue, again with respect to the ontologies, depends on the resolutions approved in Ballot #3 for metadata revisions and content merging.
