Of course, your approach of prepending the repository name would probably eliminate any future issue in this regard. Whatever you feel is best... ;) On Jan 5, 2012, at 4:49 PM, Greg Von Kuster wrote:
Yes, this is certainly important, but I think the hope is that proprietary data types will not become so prevalent that name-spacing the extensions is necessary.

Big Question? When I started creating all those datatype classes for mothur, I just labeled the the file_ext as mothur generated them for its output files. Will we have namespace issues? Should the file_ext fields include the toolshed name, e.g. should "otu" be named "mothur.otu" to avoid conflicts with other downloaded tools from the toolshed? Seems like this would be the time to establish rules/practices for such concerns.
