I made up that term: it's officially the "tuple space".  Linda is a method
of doing parallel/distributed processing with minimal coupling.  Linda
applications write tuples (records) into the tuple space, and then
they remain there until removed by other Linda applications, which have
the choice of accepting or peeking based on pattern matching.

A natural generalization of Linda would go from tuples to full trees, and
from simple pattern matching (based on some tuple elements having specific
values) to recognition based on validation against a schema.

It would be pretty surprising if I had any, since I made up the notion
about five seconds before writing the paragraph that mentions it!
Which is not to deny that someone else could have made it up first.
