Adding and Deleting Advertiseables

Upon creating an AdvertService the first thing usually wants to do is to add an Advertiseable to or delete and Advertiseable from this AdvertService. To add an Advertiseable to a AdvertService the first thing one does is to create some meta-data describing the Advertiseable. This meta-data is captured by a set of name value pairs placed in a Table. After populating a Table with this meta-data one then simply associates this meta-data with the Advertiseable through a single call to the AdvertService. Upon completion of this call, the Advertiseable is placed in the AdvertService and other users of GAT can access this Advertiseable by simply querying the AdvertService. In addition, if for some reason one realizes that placing this advert was a huge mistake, one can just as easily remove the Advertiseable from the AdvertService.
