Name all the things #12

Closed evanbiederstedt closed 6 years ago

evanbiederstedt commented 7 years ago

Obviously not the most pressing concern for this project, but we should come up with a name for this. This includes properly naming our "meta Needleman-Wunsch" algorithm.

It's something to think about, crew.

AlexanderDilthey commented 7 years ago

Perhaps WGG = Whole-genome graph?

Sub-components could then be given names like WGGalign (for the Needleman-Wunsch-like algorithm) etc.

I'm personally a big believer in vowels, but I like the consonants. WOGG or woGg depending on which trend you want to follow.

evanbiederstedt commented 7 years ago

@AlexanderDilthey @nathandunn I'm also a fan of mono-/disyllabic names, though WGG isn't such a bad acronym. It also helps for naming parts of the package, WGGalign, etc.

WOGG or woGg may not be the best choice, as it's phonetically similar to this English word, which is more recognizable outside of North America: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wog

Maybe "ScalaGG"? (Scalable Graph Genome?) Otherwise, any other variations of WGG?

jcoliver commented 7 years ago

Ooo...ScalaGG! Sounds troglodytic (not in a pejorative way, though).

Could also use "Complete" instead of "Whole" for CoGG/CGG.

nathandunn commented 7 years ago

Thanks @evanbiederstedt . that could have been a disaster. I also like @jcoliver recommendations of ScalaGG (first place) or CoGG (second place) and it avoids the problems of user's ever accidentally offending someone.

jcoliver commented 7 years ago

@nathandunn Would love to take credit for ScalaGG, but that's @evanbiederstedt 's creation!

nhansen commented 7 years ago

ScalaGG might lead people to believe our software is written in the programming language "scala"--I like ScalarGG a little better. And CoGG might be confused with "cluster of orthologous groups" database Eugene Koonin created: http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/content/28/1/33.full

But I'm loving the idea of having a fun name for the software and project!

How about "BiGG" or "BigGG"? Like "Big genome graph"?

Notorious BiGG?

RE: "Thanks @evanbiederstedt . that could have been a disaster." @nathandunn No problem. Just good to be cautious. Actually, I don't think the word is used unironically anymore (not since the 1970s), but I'm probably wrong.
