datalink-terms (summary)

[Patrick Dowler]

OK, it seems like the dust has settled a bit. I think this is what we 
have agreed so far for the initial minimalist vocabulary:


#this

#auxiliary (generic)
#weight
#error
#noise

#calibration (generic)
#bias
#dark
#flat

#preview (generic)
#preview-image
#preview-plot

#proc (generic)
#cutout

#progenitor (generic)

#derivation (generic)


I'm not that happy with #proc (because it isn't actually a word) but we 
do need a generic base term for links to services (custom or not). The 
intent here is to generically cover what Markus calls SSDP (server side 
data processing) without resorting to an acronym :-)

So, is #proc OK or do you have a better (actual) word?
