|Dataset|A collection of data pertaining to a specific subject. Datasets are considered a type of publication. In GCIS, a dataset is given a unique mnemonic identifier, such as [nca3-ncep-ncar-r1](https://data.globalchange.gov/dataset/ncep-ncar-reanalysis-1).|
16
16
|Figure|A visual representation (e.g., a graph, map, photograph, diagram, chart, or a satellite image) referenced in the text. It may be composed of one or more images. Example: [observed-us-temperature-change](https://data.globalchange.gov/report/nca3/figure/observed-us-temperature-change).|
17
17
|Finding|A major conclusion or discovery garnered from the scientific evidence presented in a report. Has a statement as well as phrases and bibliographic references describing the confidence level, uncertainties, and evidence for that finding. Example: [global-climate-is-changing](https://data.globalchange.gov/report/nca3/chapter/our-changing-climate/finding/global-climate-is-changing).|

|GCIS Model|A simulation or projection based on previously gathered data. Models are used to simulate climate systems and create model runs. Example: [ccsm3](https://data.globalchange.gov/model/ccsm3).|

+
|GCIS Model Run|A unique piece of data ascertained by combining a model, scenario, time range, time resolution, and sequence number.

|Image| The unique graphic used to create a figure. One or more images make a figure. Example: [1f5a3cdd-fc45-403e-bf11-d1772005b430](https://data.globalchange.gov/image/1f5a3cdd-fc45-403e-bf11-d1772005b430).|

|Journals|A publication containing a collection of articles, original research, and conclusions. Generally shorter than a book, peer-reviewed, and released in multiple volumes or periodicals. In GCIS, a journal may have a print and online ISSN, and is uniquely identified within GCIS using a mnemonic identifier (such as climatic-change). Example: [Biogeochemistry](https://data.globalchange.gov/journal/biogeochemistry).|
