Bill makes an important point not specifically mentioned in the proposed
definition, namely that it's the "original" data. I'm not personally
familiar with them, but also allowing for instruments which actually store
the data before downloading for further processing, and taking into account
the next definition (raw data), is the following acceptable for the *first*
definition below, "field" data?
===================================================================================
Field data The original data and sketches recorded in the field, e.g.
paper-based,
or images thereof, or data still stored and observable in
an instrument.
===================================================================================
Raw data Field data when converted unchanged into character-based
form, or
downloaded from an instrument.
Your "yes" or improved version please for "Field Data".
Peter
