Re: [dxwg] Funding source [RFS]

My question would be whether the grant was specifically to produce the dataset, or was it funding the project/activity that produced the dataset? If it is the latter, the link to the grant would be at the level of the project, not of the dataset. 
About the funding amount, I would think that this is could be fairly complicated -- are grant amounts earmarked for individual datasets produced, what is the relation between real production/maintenance cost and funding amount, how are co-funding arrangements expressed?
Do we consider that this information is generally useful across domains, for example to allow searching for datasets that were funded by amounts in a certain range, or to distinguish between datasets that were funded by a grant and ones that weren't?
In my mind, we should leave this kind of information to the description of projects and activities, and not cover it in the description of the resulting datasets.
