Typo in material entity elucidation

[michaelrabenberg]

Here's the elucidation of material entity in the .ttl owl file:

skos:definition "(Elucidation) A material entity is an independent continuant has some portion of matter as continuant part"@en ;

This should read:

skos:definition "(Elucidation) A material entity is an independent continuant that has some portion of matter as continuant part"@en ;

Incidentally this is different from the elucidation in the Terms spreadsheet (https://github.com/BFO-ontology/BFO-2020/blob/master/src/owl/profiles/temporal%20extensions/temporalized%20relations/documentation/bfo-2020-terms.csv), which refers to time:

A material entity is an independent continuant that at all times at which it exists has some portion of matter as continuant part

The last elucidation makes explicit that material entities always have portions of matter for continuant parts; the owl file elucidation doesn't make this explicit (though it's natural to read it as having that implicature).
