I would second (third?) that idea.  When we form our grant review panels here, we typically cluster together applications dealing with the history of science, technology, and medicine.  There's considerable diversity within that configuration, but I think that, in general, the number of groups/domains for this working group activity would best be kept at a manageable number.  I did have a question on where "literature" might fit -- arts & culture, perhaps?

Building on Christie's comments below, I have often seen Science, Technology & Medicine combined.  The categories will always have some challenges such as is a map also a science record and if created by a government entity.....We can only work to define what we mean by these categories and realize overlap will occur.

Forming smaller groups along these lines sounds like a good plan to me, 
too.  I am interested in the Science category, and would be in favor of 
broadening that topic to include Medicine. 

In thinking about your question on the desired granularity of our "at 
risk" nominations, it seems as though starting with the identification of 
content at a broader level then working toward object level might make 
sense.  We would then benefit from having a deeper understanding of the 
types of content that are at risk as well as specific collections or 
groups of material.

Subject: [NDSA-CONTENT] Content Teams

In our email yesterday about our plan for 2012 (Text of the email is here, 
in case you missed it: 
http://www.loc.gov/extranet/wiki/osi/ndiip/ndsa/index.php?title=Plan_for_2012 
) , we talked about the formation of Content Teams. What do you all think 
of these proposed groupings?


Government

Politics and Law

Maps and Geography

News, Media, and Journalism

Science

Mathematics and Technology

Social Sciences

World History and Cultures

American History

Arts and Culture

Religion and Philosophy

If you had to sign up for one (well, you will be asked to sign up for one 
as a member of the Content Working Group) - do you see your organization's 
content representated? Are these good groupings for us to have? Should we 
have fewer groups, more? Others? What content do you care about 
preserving?

Don't worry. I'll keep emailing the list until someone, anyone responds... 
:)
