New Term Request: Planetary Science

[BaptisteCecconi]

Label

Recommendation: Planetary Science

Reasoning: Within Solar System astronomy, this domain specifically addresses the study of the planets, the planetary systems and the solar system.

IRI

Recommendation: The term is present in 2 vocabularies: The NATURE terms (https://www.nature.com/subjects/planetary-science), as well as in the Unified Astronomy Thesaurus (UAT) with URI: http://astrothesaurus.org/uat/1255. It is also present in the EuroSciVoc ontology (http://publications.europa.eu/resource/dataset/euroscivoc) with URI: http://data.europa.eu/8mn/euroscivoc/74f1f6d9-2480-440a-a168-82967a9677ef

Reasoning: I would rather select the UAT, since it is a reference for the astronomy community.

Definition

The branch of astronomy that deals with the science of planets, or planetary systems, and the solar system. (note: this is the definition of the term in the UAT)

Hierarchy

Recommendation: I would put it under the term "Solar System astronomy" (proposed in #83).

Reasoning: That makes it consistent with the UAT.

Thank you very much for this term, happy to add it. Looks like we will, as you suggest, use the UAT. I'll keep you updated with regards to its addition.

Thanks again!
