DISQUS

Jamie Pitts · 4 years ago

I am working on perl/java project to be hosted on a domain name having some take on "dat", and so I reserved "tagdat.com". This naming convention is part of an idea I had of making data munging more appealing to wider web audiences.

Putting "dat" at the end of a verb adds a bit of MTV / hip-hop culture to the semantic web. So "dat" just might be the next "tag" :)

I can transfer "tagdat.com" to you if you want it. Also, you might consider these other "dats" for what you're working on:

aggdat
knowdat
brewdat
blendat
feedat
savedat

How about "BrainBucket"?

Paperboy? Datalore? Tumbleweed? Paradata? Paradigm? Deep Thought? 6 by 9?

Hi Phil,

How about a bit of street ... PhatMix. (As long as you code it in Grooovy :-).

Omnivat ... OneUniverse ... FatFusion


Jamie, how about "allofdat", "donttouchdat" >:-D

Omnivat … OneUniverse … FatFusion

Hmm... I like the word 'vat' - conjures up an image of fermenting gloopy stuff.
DataVat sounds a bit tripe tho. I really need a better word for 'data'. (Not sure there is one)

(Thanks for all the suggestions btw!)

"Stew" or "Casserole" are also gloopy but maybe less tripe? eg DataStew.

I've given up trying to find a cool word for data.
Am thinking I'll go with 'jamvat' - at least until somebody comes up with something I like better.

Expect a jamvat release and demo soon!
