I donāt think that Maidsafe is referring to this definition, because it is too low level (physical layer).
I realize now that they are probably referring to the blocks of bitcoin like protocols, because they are the basic elements that store the ledger of network events. This is an agreed term, commonly used in the field. With this in mind I agree this a meaningful term.
But then why ādata chainā?
Safe network is not āblock chainā based, so another name must be found for the ledger. But why dump āblockā and keep āchainā? I would have done the contrary (keep āblockā and dump āchainā) because:
-
block is a fundamental element of the PARSEC specification
-
the ledger is not a chain because it is forked at each section split.
For example, āblock treeā would be a much better name because it keeps the name of the basic element (block) and emphasizes that its structure is not linear. In fact, the structure is not even hierarchical but even more complex with section joins. Then maybe āblock graphā?
in summary, āblockā + anything but āchainā would be better.

Thatās a nice one too. āBlockTreeā or āBlock Treeā rhymes with octree, which basic XOR space can be represented/visualized as quite nicely. 
I do very much like the term datachain thoughā¦ the term datatree just doesnāt have the same ring(s) to it
