Naming advice - Our World in Data

Hi all,

Having no connection to the project but just goaded into it by there only
being a python client to downloading their data, I've written a Perl API
for the "Our World in Data" grapher endpoint at https://ourworldindata.org

After looking through the maillist archive and given that the python module
for their ETL catalog endpoint is "owid-catalog", I'm thinking that
WebService::Owid or WebService::OWID are the best names for this module (as
mixed caps OWiD is just going to be visually confusing). It's short and
descriptive.

Which would you find less annoying: all caps, ucfirst? Carolingian
majuscules?
Suggestions for better names welcome.

Their ETL endpoint is still in beta, but I expect to incorporate that into
the same namespace at a later date.

thanks,

And if we put 'user fell out window' every time that happened we'd get
database normalisation warnings from the helpdesk software. - BOFH: "The
