In the LinkedEarth context, PaleoData refers to the y-axis of the dataset. It contains the information about the environment. The question remains: could a paleoclimate dataset not contain information about climate? This seems paradoxical but we all do exploratory work on archive, perhaps obtaining a few dates to see if the samples correspond to a period of time we're interested in studying. These measurements fall under the chronology information of the archive but could be valuable down the line.
