Description

should name be indicated in all lowercase ?

> I would keep everything in lowercase, to make it case-insensitive and more robust towards CAPS LOCK and other capitalization errors (or is there a particular use-case where differing in the cases would be important?)

>Interesting thought, I wonder if capitalisation of name could be different in different part of the world. It would feel strance to write my name without capital letter, though.
>Note, if we ever expand to have title information, the capitalisation would be important, as some terminology requires captitalisation (for insance, foxP is a gene FoxP is a protein)
