The title of the document indicates this as well. This document has been in work for a while, and has already gone through a round of comments and responses. I am not sure there has been a connection with the RDA Terminology Group. Actually, I am almost certain there has not.

Worse yet, the document introduces itself as applying to "Earth observation data” not “Earth remote-sensing satellite observation data”, so the document seems somewhat self-contradictory and could be problematic for folks who are in the Earth observation community but who don’t deal with data from above the surface of the earth.  Lastly, has any effort been made to make these terms and definitions consistent with the work of the Research Data Alliance Terminology Groups work?

The Data Stewardship Interest Group (DSIG) within the Working Group on Information Systems and Services (WGISS) of the Committee for Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) has generated the attached document consisting of a glossary of terms related to long-term preservation. They are looking for comments, primarily from the point of view any missing items that are worthy of inclusion. However, I assume that other comments would be welcome as well. The comments are needed by the end of November 2015. I would appreciate your looking them over and sending comments to me before Thanksgiving. I will gather them and pass them on.
