Graphtributes #203

Open indigorose1 opened 9 years ago

indigorose1 commented 9 years ago

I think we should portmanteau "graph attributes" to graphtributes, because it sounds way cooler and it's otherwise awkward to say, especially when you have to say it often.

More commonly used in paper could be: ...... graph attributes (GA) ...... ......GA.......GA......GA.......GA......GA.......GA......GA.......GA......GA.......GA......

indigorose1 commented 9 years ago

The problem is that's boring and uninformative. It's also reminiscent of a beautiful peachy state and not the equally beautiful dimensions by which a graph can be examined. Solution: graphtributes.

whock commented 9 years ago

Either one of those is cool. Or we could get math-y and say AG to distinguish between overall graph attributes and, say, node attributes (AN) or edge attributes (AE).

dlee138 commented 9 years ago

Out of curiosity, are NA (node attributes) and EA (edge attributes) commonly used abbreviations in papers? Or is the more mathy thing mentioned above the norm?

It would also be one of the very few words in the English language that has 4 consonants in a row.
