The reason behind choosing the name Audubon Core was not just the subject matter (eco covers just about everything we do with biodiversity), but it salutes a very famous and prolific illustrator and publicizer of natural history illustrations. The thought followed the tribute to Darwin in the Darwin Core. The name Audubon should pop up prominently and provide the opportunity for a nice story in tribute for this standard for sharing "biodiversity multimedia resources and collections."
Ah - I was thinking of the Audubon Society, not the man himself.
Perhaps jjac.tdwg.org, for "John James Audubon"? The vocabulary itself would still be called "Audubon Core" for simplicity.
