NameForStandardWikiDiscussions

(This is a discussion area based on the previous extensive discussions in person and on the email list, documented in NameForStandard.)

I think we just have to come out with some really personal choices. I held myself back partly because I did like the idea (first raised by Chuck) to forge a family of multiple tdwg standards that have a common naming pattern. I proposed this in the plenary summary discussion in Lisbon (twdg 2003) but the other groups were not very enthusiastic. So, we are free to choose.

Anyway, my preferences are:

1. DescriptionML - we can correctly grab a broad are, SDD is not restricted to biology
2. SDD - Structured Descriptive Data
3. CompL (spoken compel) - comparative data language
4. xDelta - to honor Delta

(or ComeOn, ComparativE Ontology Notation?)

Please add your hitlists, maybe something will emerge!
