Kevin,
Don't forget biological.

How about BIODDS - BIOlogical Descriptive Data Standard?

Subject: Name for the 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
