We need a name for the tool! #16

Closed lubianat closed 3 years ago

lubianat commented 4 years ago

Annotate Them All may not be the optimal name for our project/tool. Good names have to be a bit cryptic and/or sound nice, like "Pikachu" or "spaCy" or "BLAST" or "eLife Sprint" .

Is there any mythological/historical/cultural being/person that we can relate to ", "lots of texts", knowledge and science or something like that?

All (respectful) ideas are good ideas!

What about Annothena? Annotation+Athena(Greek goddess of wisdom)

lubianat commented 4 years ago

It is already better than before!

Maybe something more cryptic? It can be really far from annotation, in a far fetched abstraction.

There a lot of cool light deities: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_light_deities

I also like the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy a lot, so I wouldn't mind a reference to that too :) For example, Magrathea is the planet where people built a huge computer to find the answer to "LIfe, the Universe and Everything", and became engineers of planets, build Earth and so on.
It would not have an exact symbology, but the name "Magrathea" sounds quite awesome to me! ref: https://hitchhikers.fandom.com/wiki/Magrathea

EDIT: I am fine with any name, really, we should gather a few ideas and them put them for a vote

I like messy brainstorms, so I'll drop some suggestions: -Miner -ANN -Sherlock (that's certainly taken already...) -Spotter

Dasapta (a sprint facilitator) mentioned that we could have a name that showed the connection with Wikidata :)

I like the idea of mentioning notes.

Sadly, WikiNotes already exists..

Maybe:
