I'll eventually dump them out somewhere so staff can work them into the discussion threads if needed.

I'll probably write up some descriptions soon, but "publication" refers to any printed material such as magazines, books and comics. (There are numerous albums in the database that are "image" soundtracks for publications).

How about "Content Type" and "Product Type"?
