I also should have mentioned that other options are welcome!

Thank you.

Subject: [dita-busdocs] Input requested for Abstract Layer naming

The Abstract Layer has been defined as the following:

        | explanatory
        |
        | descriptive
        |
        | procedural
topic --|
        | directive
        |
        | criterial
        |
        | temporal

We are working towards final labels for these categories. Today's discussion
renamed "directive" to "advisory". Attendees felt that "temporal" should
also be renamed but no final decision was made. 

Please help us to rename "temporal" to a more recognizable and intuitive
label. Please note that the label should be in the adjective form if
possible. Options are:

- transactional
- event
- report
- archival
- factual
- historical
- chronological

For more information please review our working paper "Simplifying
information types in DITA."

Please provide your feedback by 5:00 PM ET Monday April 19.

Thank you.
