When using this taxonomy for our advisory board recruitment, it became clear that some key disciplines are missing, including:

Let's re-evaluate this list and then put it into action in our dataset classifications. cc @jeanetteclark

Added some key disciplines, and rearranged the hierarchy. After review, this is probably a good start.

Added Evolution.

after evaluating, we seem short on a couple of fields...

glaciology and climatology seem like they can fit in relatively easily under geosciences.

There are a handful of other types of datasets that I'm not sure how we would categorize. We have lots of snow cover/snow depth datasets. Where would those fall do you think? Related would be ice cover and albedo. Maybe these fall under physical geography?

Thanks @jeanetteclark . I did another pass, currently tagged as v0.4.0 where I added disciplines, simplified naming, added missing disciplines, and consolidated. I also restructured the tree to follow the class hierarchy used in wikipedia, with Natural Science as a superclass of Physical Science and Life Science. I also added wikipedia's Formal Science tree as a reasonable place for math, stats, etc.

I rounded out the disciplines and consolidated based on the feedback session today. The new 0.5.0 tagged version represents something to start from. Closing this, but please open new issues to identify new changes that are needed.
