Hi Nolan,

Camille is right, "data" is just a placeholder, and you're right it's a
vague name.  It could be "ImageData" or "InputImageData" or "ModelledData".
 But we need to resist the temptation to hash out any more details, as we
agreed to stop moving 'up' the provenance tree so that we can (temporarily)
declare victory and freeze a version for Guillaume and us to build upon.

The old term "scaled data" can be regarded as an error; it wasn't the name
intended.
