(1) geographical and (2) chronological. For example ... Maryland Life(time) ABA Area (i.e., Lower 48, Alaska and Canada) Life ABA Area 2003 Anne Arundel County 1999 Yard Life Yard 2001 World Life Usually the chronological parameter of life(time) is implied if no other time frame is specified ... e.g., My Alaska list ...
