Hi all,

We have been putting together a set of ontological concepts  that
describe different aspects of the earth science process.  The idea is to
allow users to create structured information concepts to organize
information and data. We have come up with a number of concepts:

Program  - a collection of projects, a funding umbrella, etc e.g. -
NACP, NSF-OPP, NASA-Icebridge
Project - Typically some funded entity with a particular focus
Site - A physical site on earth. Might be an instrument site, a field
project site, etc.
Campaign - some intensive operational period in the field
Site visit - a short term visit to some site for data gathering purposes
Field note - A description of the conditions in the field
Dataset - some uniform collection of files


What other constructs or concepts are people familiar with?  In the ESC
discussions we've talked about experiments, etc.

-Jeff
