Naming Policy

Please avoid any language suggesting that any particular data item represents (or identifies) a human being" for two reasons:

a) This data item would accumulate reputation over time. While this is something needed in certain context, "reputation" is meta data collected elsewhere. Certainly it would be used as a key in "big data".

Since we need some reputation to connect humans, make always clear that this data item (e.g. address) designates something the human possesses at the moment.

If EDN grows big enough, the language which has manifested itself at that time, will be used in court. This could really fire back.

b) It is an offense to the end user: When explaining the product, we should be sure that rarely any end user having just understood how the product works will advertise it to a technology-avers friend, point to the screen showing anything other than the friends face and say "this is you". Teach them from the beginning to say: "this is quasi your phone's number here".
