This could go badly wrong... Ben PS - on a more helpful note - as well as technical acronyms that people working in museums may come across, this can helpfully extend to include museum acronyms that technical people working with museums may encounter. I think of the Venn diagram of museums and tech - there are acronyms from both worlds, and some which arise in the intersection area, which some museum people won't have encountered before, and some tech people won't have either. Off the top of my head: Tech acronyms that might be useful for museum people includes JP2 PTIF ConMS ColMS DAMS Solr CRM AWS XML JSON REST API OCR LOD RDF DRM UUID Museums-for-tech-people includes TGN AAT DACS VAGA ARS AAMD RTI ROI! (sorry) Somewhere in the middle includes METS TEI AIP ALTO EAD LIDO CIDOC-CRM OAIS OAI-PMH DCMI BagIt PREMIS My head feels better without that lot on top of it. ___ You are currently subscribed to mcn-l, the listserv of the Museum Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) To post to this list, send messages to: mcn-l@mcn.edu To unsubscribe or change mcn-l delivery options visit: http://mcn.edu/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l The MCN-L archives can be found at: http://www.mail-archive.com/mcn-l@mcn.edu/

For anyone interested in more ancient rodentiary-comic book entries In 1992 (pre-bowser) *Veronica* was a search engine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_(computing) for menu entries across servers using the Gopher protocol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopher_(protocol), a backronym http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backronym for Very Easy Rodent-Oriented Net-wide Index to Computer Archives, a rather nice follow up to Archie, a prior, different search engine. Alas, Archie was simply Archive without the v. (source Wikipedia). I remember using both. Yes, there was a Jughead.

Check this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_computing_and_IT_abbreviations I think your goal is to boil this down a little for a museum audience, laudable but a large task. I agree with Rob that it would be good to be some kind of shared work space available online. Anecdotally, one of my favorites in our sector is that museum technology's CMS is not the same CMS as the rest of the world. We have Collections Management Systems, everyone else has Content Management Systems. This always throws my new hires for a loop when they first arrive.
