E9 Literal definition of 'gcis:Table'

[xgmachina]

http://data.globalchange.gov/gcis.owl#d4e2126 (or http://data.globalchange.gov/gcis.owl#Table) -- Revise the definition to exclude use of the term “list” (too-CS specific).

Current class definition:

gcis:Table a owl:Class ;
    rdfs:label "Table" ;
    rdfs:comment "A list of facts or numbers arranged in a special order, usually in rows and columns." ;
    rdfs:subClassOf prov:Entity .

The second definition of 'table' from the New Oxford American Dictionary aligns pretty closely with the definition we have been using. I am fine with keeping what we have.

table |ˈtābəl| noun 1 a piece of furniture ... 2 a set of facts or figures systematically displayed, especially in columns: the population has grown, as shown in table 1 | a table of contents. • Computing a collection of data stored in memory as a series of records, each defined by a unique key stored with it.

I think all we need to do is remove "A list", so it becomes

"Facts or or numbers arranged in a special order, usually in rows and columns."
