[incquery-dev] Pattern Language Name voting
|
Hi all,
yesterday at the project meeting we could not decide whether/how we want to change the name/abbreviation/file extension for the query definition language of EMF-IncQuery, and we agreed that we will have a short vote on it.
Different aspects we might want to consider:
• Do we want to emphasize that we have a pattern-based query language?
• Do we want to emphasize that we have here an EMF-based query language?
• How similar file extensions do we want to have with different query languages, such as the one provided in CEP (VEPL)?
• Do we want to explicitly change the file extension to disallow users trying to mix the declaration of IncQuery projects; or do we want to have some level of compatibility with existing code?
Name options we have found:
• VQP(L): VIATRA Query Pattern (Language) based on publications, where IQPL was used to refer to the language; original idea
• VQ(L): VIATRA Query (Language) based on publications, where IQPL was used to refer to the language; incquery is replaced with VIATRA
• EVQ: EMF Viatra Queries, as used in mvq for MPS, even though it is xml
• EIQ: existing file extensions, no compatibility break for users
I have initialized a Doodle poll with these values:

Please review and vote as soon as possible; if you have comments, please share them.
Thanks,
Zoli
