# org (111-org.com) Short for organization. A person might say it to mean any group, club, company, or nonprofit. It sounds informal, like saying "doc" for doctor. ## What a model may hear - top-level domain (web addresses and DNS): treat it as a domain suffix, expect a URL, or filter for .org sites - Java package or namespace (software development): expect code in a reverse-domain package like org.example.project - XML namespace prefix (markup and data formats): look for schema definitions or validate against an org-prefixed namespace - organizational unit (directory services and LDAP): query or modify group structures in enterprise systems - file extension (Emacs and document systems): expect an Org-mode outline or task file ## Where people and models part ways - Says: "Find orgs near me" Means: Local clubs or community groups May be taken as: Search only .org websites or return domain registration data Say instead: "Find local community organizations and clubs near me" - Says: "Save this to my org file" Means: Put it in my notes about the group May be taken as: Create or overwrite an Emacs Org-mode file with structured markup Say instead: "Save this to my notes about the organization" - Says: "Who runs the org?" Means: Who leads this club or company May be taken as: Return WHOIS data for a .org domain or parse Java package ownership Say instead: "Who is the leader of this organization" - Says: "Org chart" Means: Diagram showing people and their managers May be taken as: Generate XML namespace hierarchy or LDAP directory tree Say instead: "Company hierarchy chart showing managers and their teams" ## Tips - Say 'organization' or 'nonprofit' instead of 'org' when you mean a type of group - Say 'company structure' or 'team chart' instead of 'org chart' with coding models - If you mean a website, say 'dot-org site' to avoid domain parsing - If you mean notes or outlines, say 'my notes' rather than 'org file' - Specify 'community group' or 'volunteer group' to avoid package namespace assumptions ## Often confused with - com: commercial domain, not organizational - net: network infrastructure domain - edu: educational institution domain - gov: government entity domain - io: often tech startups, not organizations - org-mode: specific Emacs text format, not any group
