Summary:
here are our desired positions in dimensions of connotation:
- multiple instance vs. one instance vs. one atribute of an instance - we
want to connote multiple instances - does a the requestor get any info back - no.
======== options, their thesaurus equivalents, and assessment for
suitability ===================
place - connotes location to explicitlyput or put-in (insert, place, store, publish) - reasonable but can we do
better?write (communicate, mark, record) - implies recording on a persistence
medium - too underlying technology-connotativeload - has precedent in pids; implies multiple, and already understood in IS
as "batch" and one-way-transfer with no significant return info. I also lke
the "ammo" connotation. We are "charging" a sevice with useful info or
potential energy - ready to be put to useful work.add - in o-o circles, this connotes adding an (singleton) entry to a
dictionary or to a container.set - connotes setting a property or a primitive value. no batch semantics
permitted.======================= my recommendation
