A better named than "Validator" #16

Closed nflorin closed 2 years ago

nflorin commented 2 years ago

Following Ryan's suggestion in #10 , I looked around and found all sorts of other projects (some library-related) with something like "Validator" in the name. I'm trying to brainstorm a better name. "Shared Print Validator" is the best I've come up with so far -- it's sort of like the original "PAPR Validator" and it's descriptive. It's also boring and not remotely catchy.

Not only could it be bigger than just "PAPR" validator, but it could also be bigger than just "shared print" validator, correct? My (still superficial) understanding is that the tool is validating quality of bib and holdings data in bulk. Perhaps something like "Bibliographic and Holdings Validator" (or "validation utility"). That's not too catchy either, but maybe casts a wider net is some ways.

I think the holdings part is just short of what we'd need to include "holdings" in the title.

"Serials Validator"? "Serials Data Validator"?

We could go a different route and push our brand -- "CRL Validator" or "CRL Serials Validator" or something like that.

I think the CRL-brand versions are the best ideas so far. We're not saying it's going to be the tool for everyone's validation needs, but that it is ours, developed based on our experiences and needs, and that we think our experiences, captured in these code routines, may help others. If it's not going to be a space-age advertising name, then "CRL Serials Validator" is good.

For the last week or so it's been called "CRL Serials Validator" (or crl_serials_validator.py), which is the working name for now.

@nflorin I think you have admin rights on this repo. Do you want to go ahead and update the name in the repo settings and then close this?

nflorin commented 2 years ago

I'm going to close this, with the proviso that jazzier names that "CRL Serials Validator" are still welcome.
