Description
I think there is consensus (correct me if I'm wrong), on having a 2-D structure where (at least) columns are labelled, and where a whole column share a type. More specific discussions about this structure can be made in #2.
In this issue, I'd like to discuss how we should name the class representing this structure. We've been using dataframe for the concept so far, and it's how the class is named in pandas, vaex, Modin, R and others. But in #14 (comment) it was proposed that we consider other names. I list here the proposed options in the comment and couple more. I propose that people write their username next to their preferred option, and use the comments to expand on why if needed.
- DataFrame
- Frame
- Table
- Grid
- Dataset
- DataGrid
- DataMatrix
- DataSheet
- DataPage
- RowCol
- Screen
- Slate
- Panel
- Lattice
- Board
- DataBoard
Also, I think we should decide about capitalization, I guess these are the only options (using dataframe as example, but applied to the preferred option from the above list):
- DataFrame (Class capitalization, 2 words)
- Dataframe (Class capitalization, single word)
- dataframe (Type capitalization, like in
int,datetime.datetime,numpy.array)
