Much as I would love to be the convenor of mrmd, I must concede that Audubon Core has way more marketability. Two issues then arise: 1. An acronym for use in name spaces and communication; 2. the need(?) for a word to replace "core" in describing the most important terms in the proposed standard, and which are the ones we suggest are the minimal set that implementers of consuming software should be prepared to handle gracefully. Audubon Core Core sounds silly and confusing to me. As to 1., I somewhat favor some form of adbn. Or if we must end it in "c" and can't tolerate adbnc, then maybe adnc (resp. AdnC). As to 2, I have no suggestion On Mon, Nov 15, 2010 at 9:49 AM, Gregor Hagedorn <g.m.hagedorn@gmail.com> wrote:
