Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent handle agricultural fields by use, management, access rights, environmental schemes and field names, and separate other senses of field.
An area of open land, usually enclosed, used for growing crops or grazing animals, including arable fields, pasture, fallow and set-aside land, and features such as field margins and skylark plots under agri-environment schemes; field of study, magnetic field and sports field are different senses.
What it is for: Farming, food production and landscape.
It can be explain field uses and rotations; find agri-environment scheme options; understand access rights across fields; research historic field names.
