  Kevin,
  Don't forget biological.

  How about BIODDS - BIOlogical Descriptive Data Standard?

    I'm trying to write an introduction and primer for the SDD standard, and it strikes me that we don't actually have a name for the thing we're trying to create. SDD is short for the Structure of Descriptive Data, and is an acronym only for the subgroup, not for the standard. Anyone out there with a facility with acronyms?

    relevant keywords include

    taxonomy
    descriptions
    XML
    markup
    language
    transform

    there are surely more.

    Cheers - k
