Subject:Metatype, metadata and meta stuff From:Iliana Kostova <i_kostadinova -at- prosyst -dot- bg> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Tue, 12 Oct 2004 10:22:10 +0300
Hi tech whirls!
Currently, I am developing a guide to writing meta data in XML files.
This functionality extends a specification which introduces the term
"metatype". In the same time, the specification contains an interface
called "MetaTypeProvider" (pay attention at the capitalized T), which
hints that the words "meta" and "type" should be written separately.
Then, how should I write this "meta" term in my guide?
I have a similar problem with "meta data" - the MS style guide
recommends writing it as "metadata", but in most APIs here it is used as
MetaDataXxx.
