It's proving hard to consensus here on the name! So far I think we've had (with rough votes):
Open Service Definition +2 -1 Open Software (as a) Service Defn +2 Open Network Service Definition +2 Open Web Service Definition +1 -1 Given the acronymic problems with the OSD overlapping with the Open Source Definition and the current votes it seems the two front-runners are: Open Software Service Definition (OSSD) Open Network Service Definition (ONSD) My slight inclination is towards the second of these. What do other people think. It would be nice to resolve this so if you've got a preference between these two do speak up. ~rufus On 02/07/08 14:08, Rob Myers wrote: > On Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 1:21 PM, Evan Prodromou <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> David Joyner wrote: >> >> Also, I'd throw in my vote for "Open Network Service Definition" (ONSD), >> which is close to OSDN but not confusingly so.
