unfortunately I don't know how to reply to older thread so, I will give 
my thoughts here:

Open Definition is in my opinion empty... for me it raises question - Is 
the definition is open? not really defined or something?

Further more, the idea of translating "Open Definition" with that title 
into Finnish "Avoin määritelmä" would be absolutely no-go, so if we 
decide to stick with OD instead of OKD there has to be some sort of 
translation guidelines.

Open Definition works well as domain name and some sort of umbrella term 
where you could find the actual definitions like the OKD.
