Old news: I've decided that OSMIC should be the name of the
public-domain data-structure level we've been working on
(a public-domain version of the 88.1 Xanadu data structure level).
This includes transclusion and data-based links.
However, the next level up-- structure, documents, other topology--
is really a separate level and needs another name.
"Universal Structure Level" is basically the concept. However,
"USL" doesn't sound great. I am considering two other names
in particular: LUX and NUSL.
LUX (Level of Universal Structure) sounds nice-- Light and Luxury,
deluxe, Luxor-- but not many people know that "X" xtands for
Xtructure !-)
NUSL is therefore my favorite. If so, where the "N" is to have
come from has to be decided. Possibilities include
New
Nelson's
Noetic
Narly
Natural (sounds very Ecological, Environmental-Safe).
Suggestions welcome across this whole problem.
Best, T
