Dear DM,

The mapping syntax document (https://github.com/ivoa-std/ModelInstanceInVot) is in a good progress.
We still miss a name for that standard and I would like to ask the WG to fix this.

There are 2 ancestors:
- VO-DML Mapping Syntax
- Model Instance in VOTable
This is why the proposal is currently named "Merged Syntax".
This name  is faith to the design context but cryptic for regular users
and we wish to use a different one for the final proposal.

The name must be explicit and it must support a short version easy to catch (e.g. SIA, Hips MOC, VODML...).

I've different proposals:

1- Model Mapping In VOTable (MoMaVot)
2- Model Mapping Syntax (MoMaS)
3- Model Annotations in VOTable (MAVOT)
4- VO Model Mapping Syntax (VOMMS)
5- VO Model Annotations Syntax (VOMAS)

Please, fill free to comment, to give you preferences or to bring others proposals.

Laurent
