We've been using EnrollingEntityType and the element name enrollingEntity for a while as the entity that is requesting enrollment . My next message will have the jpg diagrams for the Enrollment-related types for comment. As I've elaborated the EiEnroll service, this name now ambiguous -- is the EnrollING thing the one that takes the enrollment, or the one that requests it, or the on that has requested it? We have parallels in other services (Enrollment is one of several proposals): Role Registration Enrollment Tender Quote Active/Initiator of request, active in requesting Registree Enrollee Tenderor Requestor Passive in request, active in achieving Registrar Enroller Tenderee no name verb infinitive to register to enroll to tender to quote I'd like members to make suggestions as to the name(s) to fill the matrix as consistently and clearly as we can. My thoughts: Registration and Tender seem unambiguous with common names thought the ee suffix is reversed Quote::requestor is the party that requests the quote and makes sense as a request. We have no name for the party that you ask for a quote from Enrollment is the harder one--I'm enrollING but I enroll with whom? An enrollER?! I think that EnrollingEntity suggests the entity with which you enroll which reverses the earlier role description. Irregular common verbs make this a harder problem.
