It could be argued that caves could logically be grouped into a system and many survey
sections make up a survey. Or that these surveys comprise this section of a cave. They
are meaningful to the user who, in the end, will have to use this format.

Using keywords embedded in attributes is not a good way to identify groupings. There isn't
a space restriction on what can be put into this format. And there is no penalty for devising
a "perfect" format then downscaling it to a "useful" one.
