ResolvedTopicDatasetCapitalization

Rather an esthetic issue: I find DataSets/DataSet odd-looking. I realize that you can write "data set" or "dataset". Googling "dataset" retrieves a wild mixture of both spellings, with "DataSet" used mostly in .NET/ADO.NET related documents. The DublinCore (http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/) uses "Dataset", with a lower case "s".

If nobody contradicts, I would prefer doing that. Main.BDI is taking the Dataset up from ABCD - was there a discussion in ABCD on this?

In English it should be data set (although Word recognises dataset!) and therefore I would expect to write DataSet but I don't think it is that important and will go with whatever decision - so I'll assume Dataset unless I hear differently.

Thanks. I think DublinCore usuage is good precedence. Esthetic reason is less the DataSet itself, but possible combinations like DataSetMetadataType. I will change to Dataset and DatasetMetadataType etc.
