Class: Specification
The set of characteristics and constraints on their values that specify what it means to be a particular type of thing, such as a material, product, service or event. A specification is sufficiently precise to allow evaluating conformance to the specification.

Comments
- Although a characterization of how to do something is often called a specification, the intended meaning here is limited to specifying what something is. The focus is on the what, not the how. Use gist:TaskTemplate for specifying the how, such as a plan or process specification. Use gist:conformsTo to assert that something conforms to a specification. To represent a definition of a particular type of thing that is not sufficiently precise to be a gist:Specification, consider using gist:KnowledgeConcept.

description: A statement about someone or something's attributes or characteristics.
comments:
- This property is used to describe instance data which is not part of the ontology.
A definition and a description have different semantics. Use skos:definition
for a statement of the meaning of a thing and gist:description to describe a
thing's attributes, characteristics, or features.
examples:
- value: A person does not have a definition, but might be described as being
six feet tall with brown hair and blue eyes; an ontology class or taxonomy
term has a definition.
- value: '''The Empire State Building is a 102-story Art Deco skyscraper in midtown
Manhattan in New York City. It was designed by Shreve, Lamb & Harmon and built
from 1930 to 1931.'''
