[INFOD-WG] Wild naming changes

[Dieter Gawlick]

Steve,

I think I can go along with this except for the name DataEntry. The word 
implies for me that we actaully talk about the entries. However, we like 
to reference a collection of data or a data source. So maybe, DataSource 
or DataCollection would be a better name.
