Basespace - sounds good.
By the way a little of-topic question:

The concept of multiple bases came up during discussions on Base.  At the
time, I characterized your proposal as a proposal for what I called a
"Basespace".  This is very similar to namespaces in the naming and scoping
of identifers.  It's an interesting notion.
