I have this vision of "software to connect subfields of geoscience" that is not well articulated as yet. We need to establish this firmly here.
Something along the lines of
Different ways to do science (e.g., preferred scales or modeling vs. descriptive)
Different fields of analysis/communities (e.g., stratigraphy, structure etc.)
Making their data and interpreted layers into digitally-encoded objects isn't just to save it for later, it is to express it in a format that is relevant to workers in other subfields. Integrating many outputs together can provide a platform for, e.g., testing models against paleoenvironmental constraints across the boundaries of subfields.
