S-RAMP project name change?

[brmeyer]

When the SOA Repository Artifact Model and Protocol (S-RAMP) was first started, the data model and capabilities revolved around SOA-specific artifacts and metadata.  The spec continues with that specialization.  However, our implementation, currently "Overlord S-RAMP", quickly broadened in scope.  It's now a full-blown, full-featured repository for any type of artifact, document, metadata, relationship, classification, etc.  With that in mind, as well as knowing that having the project name use the same acronym as the spec itself is confusing, we're strongly considering a project name change.  The new project would still be a part of the "Overlord" umbrella group, but would present itself as more of a standalone solution.

Great idea, but I'm horrible at coming up with names.  So, we need your help!  Any ideas for specific names, general concepts to research, etc. would be a huge assistance.

Thoughts, so far (will keep this updated as comments come in):

• "Single source of truth"/"SSOT" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_Source_of_Truth)
• "Artifact Management" (think ArtMan, ArtiMan, etc. -- not the best, but the right concept)
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_knowledge_deities (mythological names related to knowledge)
• Artificer
• Vaultron
• sivot - "SIngle Version Of Truth"
• sevot - "SinglE Version Of Truth"
• nonsense words ending in ssot, sivot, or sevot
  

I'm skipping the following, due to existing projects using the name, etc:

• Alexandria

I'm also skipping the following, due to their over-awesomeness (or caused-confusion):

• K-Ramp
• RamVault
• X-Ramp
• RepoMan
• Tsubo
• Thoth

The following were submitted to Legal, but all were rejected:

• Atheneum
• Papyrus
• Melvil
• Satchel
• Vaultage
• Minerva
• Metis

RepoMan

Ramp - not just for SOA

[objectiser]

Or Kramp - knowledge repository and model protocol

[vinicius.martinez]

My 0.2 cents:

• Alexandria - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_of_Alexandria
• Papyrus- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papyrus
• Thot - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoth

Satchel

Oh I like Alexandria - that's a good one.

Fitting in with the God of Knowledge theme is this page:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_knowledge_deities

Definitely don't go with the Australian Aboriginal god of knowledge - it sounds too much like a Jedi!

The boring fallback could just be "Overlord Artifact Repository" (Note: OAR is not the best but not the worst acronym ).

Don't think Alexandria would pass legal, although agree it is nice - but other issue with it: http://jakarta.apache.org/alexandria/legacy/

Like it!

Why not "X-Ramp", it is very close to S-Ramp, but for anything (X).

+1's:

• Atheneum
• Papyrus
• Alexandria (doubt that would pass legal, but cool idea)
• From an email list (Rick Wagner): I suggest 'Melvil'.  The project icon would be a studious looking man with round eyeglasses and perhaps an armload of books.  To honor Melvil Dewey, the man who invented the Dewey Decimal System.  (The DDS is used by libraries to index and file all the books, media, etc. they curate.)

I also like Bob's "satchel" idea -- or anything "container" related -- but not sure how hard it would be to get any of those generic terms to pass.

Thanks for the ideas, thus far!  Keep 'em coming!

More from the mailing list:

RamVault

Vaultage

+1 X-RAMP or K-RAMP

[tadayosi]

X-RAMP sounds cool.

My humble idea:

• Tsubo - a Japanese word for vessel
  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsubo
  • https://www.google.com/search?q=tsubo+vessel&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=t1VhVJKcGMHCmQX_soKYDA&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAg&biw=187…
