Paul might not know that we are talking about the proposed Multimedia Resources Metadata vocabulary, formerly denoted MRTG after its task group name, now being proposed as the Audubon Core.

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."

Let's settle this. I think http://abnc.tdwg.org works and is easy to associate with Audubon Core. In my opinion:
- ac is too short and not evocative
- adbc has too much baggage in the U.S. because of the NSF
digitization effort http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=503559&org=&from_org...
- adbnc is too long, though a close second for me
- audc is possible but more evocative of audio than audubon
The other approach would be to name it after its subject mater. If Audubon Core concerns itself with
ecology, then eco.tdwg.org would work.
