[Year 12 IPM] Data tables

[Charmaine Taylor]

That's right Mike and is why the term in the study design should have 
read data description table. It is mentioned several times in the study 
design in different units and always in the context of a design tool ie 
the data description table represents the structure of the data table 
which holds the data.
