[news.eclipse.technology.eilf] Name Poll for Segments

Hi folks,

in several areas we have the need or desire to segment smth. but often this same logic concept is labeled with diff. names such as:

Segment
Store
Collection
Space
Partition
compartment

in my particular case: Xml Storage the term collection is used in the context of Xquery (part of that spec) while Berkely speaks of "containers" which hold Xml Documents.

I wonder if it would make sense to agree on one single term that we use for all modules that need smth. like segmentation -- and if you agree which term we should elect for this?
