Subject: [humanmarkup] TC ShortName
Change
Hi Everyone,
I am including the list of now-unofficial and non-voting invited experts
because we hope to keep you all involved and so want to ensure that you are
kept up-to-date on TC work.
So, because we did not have a quorum yesterday, we need to take a vote on
the TC list, so we need voting members to respond soon. The issue is:
Resolved: The short name of the OASIS Human Markup Technical Committee shall
henceforth be "huml"
This term also corresponds to our namespace prefix, which will identify
the use of our namespace for particular terms in applications or other
schema.
The most obvious benefit will be shortening the subject line reference in
our emails. In general shorter is better. It is easier to remember and
provides less opportunity for typos. And, as I pointed out in our meeting
yesterday, a new proposal being discussed for document identifiers is being
discussed on the chairs list. I said TC short names were aimed at four
characters, but reviewing that proved it was not the case, it was due to the
fact that the examples were all four or less characters for the TC name. I
wanted to correct that.
As an example of how this would affect our current committee
specification, with our current short name, which is no shorter than our
regular name, it would be identified thus:
cs-humanmarkup-primarybase-01
which stands for: committee specification, humanmarkup TC, primary base,
version 01
with the new short name it would be:
cs-huml-primarybase-01
I vote yes.
Ciao,
Rex
