Hot!

Thanks for contributing this. I will try to incorporate this in my work.

This can easily get bloated but I think icons about the following would 
be cool:

* a collection
* a thing or a concept
* inferred
* retrieved
* transformed
* dataset
* creator
* valid from/until
* broader/narrower
* subClassOf
* types of datasets (statistical, geographical, people, media, 
generic-meta..) or
* some of the most popular Classes out there
