archipelago
Let an agent explain archipelagos and how they form, identify specific archipelagos with sources, describe their ecology, navigation and law, and support travel and study.
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 explain archipelagos and how they form, identify specific archipelagos with sources, describe their ecology, navigation and law, and support travel and study.
A group of islands clustered together in a sea or lake, formed by volcanic activity, tectonic uplift, erosion or sea level change, including island arcs, skerry coasts and lake archipelagos, and artificial archipelagos built by reclamation; archipelagos shape navigation, biodiversity and culture, and archipelagic states have special maritime rights.
What it is for: Groups of islands.
It can be explain formation and types; identify specific archipelagos; describe ecology, navigation and law; support travel and study.
