[Seavox] To business....

[John Graybeal]

Some points:

- Is it of any concern that Wikipedia cites differing opinions about the names of deeper zones?  (Ignoring the obvious possibility that Wikipedia is wrong, it seems likely that some might disagree -- any concern about that?)
- Wikipedia spells it hadopelagic.  Probably some American thing.
- The lack of "about" in the definitions, as in "about 1000 meters", concerned me -- Wikipedia rings more true in that respect, though still with flaws. I guess the application of the definition is all in how the keywords will be used, and why I have such trouble with keywords in the first place. So take it for what it's worth.
- I agree with Karen's comments on water column boundary layer.

Any reason we shouldn't run these by a bunch of non-data-centric scientists?  They should all agree too, right?

I thought the ASLO vocabulary had some overlapping terms, the benthic boundary layer in particular...?

I would foresee these terms being used as ISO19115 keywords.  Please let me have any comments on content, terms or definitions.  I would also be interested if anyone knows of other vocabularies out there fulfilling this function so I can check them out for ease of interoperability.
