[edit] Proposal to merge in Data element name and Data element definition

Since the Data element article is very short, I propose that we merge the separate articles on Data element name and Data element definition as sections in this one article. Separately, I propose that some of the examples of naming in ISO/IEC 11179 be merged into Data element name, and ultimately into here. RayGates 22:38, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

I would like to keep the Data element definition page separate. I would like to be able to link to it seperately and add use cases to extend the article. I agree that Data element is short but I propose we can extend it. - Dan Feb. 1st

O.K., Dan. I have removed the merge templates. RayGates 01:27, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
