1515
|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).|
1616
|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).|
1717
|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).|
18+
|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).|
19+
|GCIS Model Run|A unique piece of data ascertained by combining a model, scenario, time range, time resolution, and sequence number.
20+
|GCIS Table|An organized list referenced in the text. Often embedded in a report. Example: [list-us-droughts](https://data.globalchange.gov/report/climate-science-special-report/chapter/drought-floods-hydrology/table/list-us-droughts)|
1821
|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).|
1922
|Instrument|A measuring apparatus. Often associated with one or more platforms via instrument instances. Example: [poseidon-2](https://data.globalchange.gov/instrument/poseidon-2).|
2023
|Instrument Instance|A platform/instrument combination. It may be associated with one or more datasets. Example: [jason-1/poseidon-2](https://data.globalchange.gov/platform/jason-1/instrument/poseidon-2).|
2124
|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).|
2225
|Lexicon|A collection of external database identifiers and vocabularies in GCIS. Example: [ROR](https://data.globalchange.gov/lexicon/ror)|

|Organization| A group, such as an institution, agency, or NGO. In GCIS, organizations are uniquely identified by mnemonic identifiers. Example: [us-global-change-research-program](https://data.globalchange.gov/organization/us-global-change-research-program).|
2627
|Person|Individuals associated with global change research. In GCIS, they are uniquely identified by numeric identifiers. Example: [person/16009](https://data.globalchange.gov/person/16009).|
