Renaming OSI because of possible misunderstandings by duplication of the abbreviation? #369

Closed PhRosenberger closed 4 years ago

PhRosenberger commented 4 years ago

Describe the problem

There is already a standard called "Open Systems Interconnection model" with the same abbreviation "OSI". Because of this duplication, we face some misunderstandings when talking about OSI with our industry partners.

Reference: ISO/IEC standard 7498-1:1994

Ask your question

We would like to ask, if there are plans to rename "our" standard to something different with unique abbreviation?

jdsika commented 4 years ago

A unique abbreviation with 3 letters... I know about this naming "clash" but I always say it is a joke because our OSI is also a "layered standard" ;)

PhRosenberger commented 4 years ago

Yes, with 3 letters, it is tough, but what about using more than 3 letters? Some brainstorming: "OpenSI", "OpenSim", "OpenSense", or "OSIM"

engelben commented 4 years ago

Definitely a discussion we will need to continue at the ASAM kickoff workshop on the 21.02. AUTOSAR for example also has an OSI ;)

PhRosenberger commented 4 years ago

I think we actually forgot to discuss this. As it is still open, how can we continue with that tricky question? @engelben is there a use case already, where it is tackled?

engelben commented 4 years ago

Good point... I suggest we put it on the agenda for the project kickoff early June (date still TBD).

What about OpenDI (Open Data Interface)?

jdsika commented 4 years ago

I would never change the name

engelben commented 4 years ago

We will be sticking with OSI for now. Closing this.
