[Bioc-devel] RFC: Naming scheme for organism level annotation data packages

Those are fine suggestions.  Do you (or others) think it is worth
having a common prefix for all organism level packages?

   org.sgd.Sc.db
   org.eg.Hs.db
   org.eg.Mm.db

Since we don't (yet) have a super fancy dynamic webapp that allows
users to slice and dice their package display, there is some immediate
benefit to having similar packages sort next to each other.

wouldn't the sorting be more informative if we had, for example

org.Hs.eg.db -- entrez gene
org.Hs.en.db  -- ensembl, maybe

i.e., provider would nest within organism.  if it is not intended
to have multiple providers, take it out

org.Hs.db
org.Sc.db

i would expect to scan for organism first, then for provider within
organism if we are going to distinguish these.

if the justification for the "eg" is clear in earlier posts, disregard
this ... i did not read them closely enough to remember now.
