   Format: MarkdownItexI think the terminology is slightly misleading. It would not be a clear guess. I would suggest instead [[orientation in differential cohomology]]. The orientation in [[differential cohomology]] must be a finer notion than the orientation in its underlying ordinary cohomology and the expression would be unambiguous even for a newcomer.

   Format: MarkdownItexI have renamed to [[orientation in differential cohomology]] as the default term, and left [[differential orientation]] as a redirect and an informal alternative name.
