what is the name for this HISPID version? #99

Open AaronWilton opened 8 years ago

AaronWilton commented 8 years ago

my parting shot for the end of the week ;-) maybe this has been agreed and I missed it???

What are we going to call this version? (current appears to have the name "HISPID Review 2015") Will it be HISPID 6?

nielsklazenga commented 8 years ago

Yes, we discussed this. No more versions, just append the date to the identifier of the term in the history document.

laurencepaine commented 8 years ago

Interesting question. Given that we are now in the situation where it will perpetually be able to be revised (as per Niels previous note), is now the time to give it a unique moniker of HISPID2016 (or some other agreed name) to ensure there is never any confusion about this replacing the previous versions of hispid.

HISPID++

AaronWilton commented 8 years ago

Was looking at what some of the other TDWG standards do - some are using "Release X" notation

but now time for another can of worms to add to this pile... ;-)

HISPID = 'Herbarium Information Standards and Protocols for Interchange of Data' so we now only have HISID... since we no longer do the protocols bit...

nielsklazenga commented 8 years ago

Ah, give it some time and we'll come up with a fitting backronym.

nielsklazenga commented 8 years ago

Easy, here you go:

Herbarium Information Systems Produce Incomprehensible Data

laurencepaine commented 8 years ago

Couldn't we call it DIPSIH (HISPID backwards)...that's so close to DIPSHIT that I'm sure we could work wtih it.....

Sorry, been a long week.

I think the Release X concept is something we really have to consider so that we hae an unambiguous referencing mechanism moving forward.

AaronWilton commented 8 years ago

personally I don't care if we stick with the HISPID acronym - give the nature of changes that we have made I would suggest that this would be a good juncture to mint something new....

AaronWilton commented 8 years ago

if we had to keep HISPID then how about something like - herbarium information standard profile for interchange of data (but do we need to keep HISPID?)

nielsklazenga commented 8 years ago

I think we should keep the acronym HISPID (despite Laurence's very convincing argument) and leave it to people themselves what they want it to stand for. I don't think it is a good idea to look for another acronym.

AaronWilton commented 8 years ago

so.... HISPID, Release/Version 6?

in agreement with Laurence's earlier comment... not convinced we can drop a version or release number entirely - think these versions (3 to 6) are very different beasts and good to be able to clearly differentiate without overdoing it

laurencepaine commented 8 years ago

I'm leaning towards HISPID Release 6. When we make the next major set of changes (and let's be really honest now, how many more concepts will we need to introduce to achieve our business of exchaning data?) it makes sense to me that we call it Release over Version.

I think we can live without needing to quantify what HISPID actually needs to stand for. It's just paying homage to the heritage of how we go to this point.

+1 HISPID Release 6

ben3000 commented 8 years ago

echo preg_replace('/Release/', 'Version', 'HISPID Release 6');

afuchs1 commented 8 years ago

Hi all,

this makes sense to me....so +1

cheers Anne

I am not keen on versioning HISPID at all other than using issued and modified dates (like Darwin Core does), but sure, whatever. I have to say though, if you are going to do versioning and use the consecutive numbering, this release of HISPID is a major version, not merely a release, so HISPID 6.0.0 would be appropriate.
