10-org.org
org
Short for organization. People say it to mean a group, a company, a nonprofit, or any body that does something together. It is the ending of many web addresses for groups that are not businesses.
What a model may hear
- top-level domain internet standards and DNS
- treat the input as a website or domain name, or expect registration data
- Java package Java and Android code
- assume a reverse-domain naming like org.apache, or look for a library in that namespace
- file extension Emacs and some document systems
- expect an outline or notes file in Org mode format
- biological taxonomy genetics and bioinformatics databases
- read it as organism or expect a species identifier
Where people and models part ways
“Find me the org”
Meant: Look up a nonprofit group
May be taken as: Return DNS records for .org domains or parse it as a code package
Say instead: “Find information about the nonprofit organization named...”
“Open my org file”
Meant: Open my notes
May be taken as: Look for a file with .org extension and try to render Org mode syntax
Say instead: “Open my notes file”
“Who runs that org”
Meant: Who leads the group
May be taken as: Query WHOIS data for the .org domain
Say instead: “Who leads the organization”
Tips
- Say organization if you mean a group, not a website.
- Say Org mode if you mean the Emacs format.
- Give the full name of the group, not just org.
- Say dot org if you mean the web address ending.
- Say Java package if you mean the code namespace.
