[Robert Tomas]

Hi all,
in INSPIRE we have the same rule - lower case + proper nouns.
Cheers.

 My personal preference is for lower case unless it is a proper noun (eg,
“short”, “long”, “Esperanza Formation”, “Mesozoic”).

Dear vocabulary folk,

 

Could I get a measure of whether people use (or prefer) lower case or
sentence case for vocabulary term preferred labels? eg, “brittle
deformation” or “Brittle deformation”; “lithostratigraphic unit” or
“Lithostratigraphic unit”?  In my investigations of vocabularies from many
sources, I have seen no consistency.  

 

Can the vocabulary working group come to a consensus that we can adopt?

 

Cheers,

Ollie

 

PS. My personal preference is for lower case unless it is a proper noun (eg,
“short”, “long”, “Esperanza Formation”, “Mesozoic”).
