Re: [MCN-L] hit me with your tech-related acronyms!

[Carissa Dougherty]

wow, these are all terrific suggestions!

hadn't heard HIPPO or PICNIC before, but I'm totally adding them to my
lexicon.

And "backronym" is awesome in so many ways -- including the way Morgan used
it as a verb.  Swt!

These are great, you've brightened by day, sometimes MCN-L is TLDR.

My favourite recursive TLA is PHP (PHP Hypertext Preprocessor), but then again, 
I'm a big nerd.

[Morgan Holzer]

Ooh I love picnic and hippo! In the spirit of Simon's squirrel nutkin, we give 
things the "INATOR" treatment. So when we fixed our locations section, we 
called it the Locinator. And the research upgrade was the Researchinator. 

 We backronymed this to mean "It's Now A Totally Operational Resource."

Currently working on the UI and UX for a project coded using MVC (a bit like 
MVVM) and, thrillingly, using AES-57, AES-60 and AES-X098C schemas. We’re 
having to validate MD5 and SHA checksums and generate SMPTE time codes. Which 
is nice.

Re: [MCN-L] hit me with your tech-related acronyms!

And then there are the "justa" acronyms (apocryphal retronyms or real):

JAVA (once upon a time, wrongly rumored by some to stand for "Just 
Another Vague Acronym," but it's not an acronym at all*)


JBOD (real: Just a Bunch Of Disks: multiple drives not configured as a 
RAID** array)

** Hey, RAID. There's another for the endless list.

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.

Awesome, Simon.  A true unliterary masterpiece.

As long as we're gleefully slipping off the subject, how about our "acronym" 
for the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist collection:  Imps and Pimps.

Hi Carissa,

In the spirit of not being at all helpful but enjoying the opportunity to roll

Back in the 90's we had a digital project which we gave the acronym: SQUIRREL

It stood for:
Sequential Query User Interface Resourcing a Research Electronic Library
Notably User-oriented Technology for Keeping the Information Needed

Hi, all...

I'm trying to compile a list of tech-related acronyms that might be important 
for museum staff to know and understand -- or at the very least, recognize.  
Right now, I'm just gathering EVERYthing I can think of -- file extensions 
(PDF, JPG), emerging technologies (BLE, NFC), web-related (HTML, PHP)...

So...

- Are there any that you think are particularly relevant/important?

- What terms do you frequently toss around during museum tech meetings?

- Are there any that are often misunderstood/misinterpreted?

I'd be happy to share my "final" list when I've got it ready...

FIRE AWAY!!

[Leonard Steinbach]

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.
All the best,
Douglas

[Tanner, Simon]

Hi Carissa,

In the spirit of not being at all helpful but enjoying the opportunity to roll 
out a true favourite...

Back in the 90's we had a digital project which we gave the acronym: SQUIRREL 
NUTKIN

It stood for:
Sequential Query User Interface Resourcing a Research Electronic Library   
Notably User-oriented Technology for Keeping the Information Needed

All my best,
Simon

Hi, all...

I'm trying to compile a list of tech-related acronyms that might be important 
for museum staff to know and understand -- or at the very least, recognize.  
Right now, I'm just gathering EVERYthing I can think of -- file extensions 
(PDF, JPG), emerging technologies (BLE, NFC), web-related (HTML, PHP)...

So...

- Are there any that you think are particularly relevant/important?

- What terms do you frequently toss around during museum tech meetings?

- Are there any that are often misunderstood/misinterpreted?

I'd be happy to share my "final" list when I've got it ready...

FIRE AWAY!!

Thanks...

Carissa

Thanks, Rob!  Yes, a wiki is a good idea...  (and, in fact, although it's
not an acronym, "wiki" is on my list, too!)

Re: [MCN-L] hit me with your tech-related acronyms!

[Rob Lancefield on lists]

Hi Carissa and all,

Okay, I'll bite, starting with a key one that's not tech-specific:

ROI, BI, CRM (CRM in the Constituent Relationship Management sense), 
LIDO, CIDOC-CRM (this CRM in the different, Conceptual Reference Model 
sense), FADGI, AAT, ULAN, TGN, DAM, and CMS--with both meanings of CMS 
teased out in regard to Web CMS versus Collection Management System, an 
ambiguity which has led more than one conversation seriously astray!


And so very many more that it might be worth thinking about turning this 
effort into a community-sourced wiki or some such resource, which could 
have certain advantages: ease of updating, wide accessibility


cheers,
Rob
