Hello Everyone - 

Attached is a general outline of what I had in mind for the Geographic
Coverage after our discussion on Tuesday.  Note that I did not go into
great detail about the specifics of any fields.  The point that I am
trying to make is that it seems we need two types of identifcation for
any geographic level:

1.  The type of level we are describing - is it a countries, states,
counties, cities, etc.
2.  The possible values at that level - which may be described by code,
coordinate, name, or reference a variable in the study.

Feel free to comment via email.

Thanks,

J
