Name for the standard

[Jim Croft]

>How about BIODDS - BIOlogical Descriptive Data Standard?

or BDDS...

but the data is probably a given in this day and age so we could get away
with BDS...

....

but most people would probably refer to it as the 'BD standard' so we could
shorten it further to BD...

and if we do the job properly and at the right level there is no reason why
it needs to be restricted to biology, so it could be the D standard...  or D

  or  Descriptive Ontology  Integrating Taxonomy: DO IT

Got it!  ... Descriptive Environment for Large Taxonomic Arrays...

now, where did I put those pills...
