   Format: Markdownstarted adding a detailed "Idea" section to the page <a href="http://ncatlab.org/schreiber/show/differential+cohomology+-+nonabelian+case">differential cohomology - nonabelian case</a> on my personal web currently this consists of the section <a href="http://ncatlab.org/schreiber/show/differential+cohomology+-+nonabelian+case#ClassicalCase">The classical case of U-principal bundles</a> and revolves around an abstract-nonsense interpretation of the [[Chern character]] so this is in parts to be read as one more contribution in my discussion, elsewhere, with Domenico.

   Format: MarkdownI think one-delooped or alike descriptive and suggestive word may be better than semiabelian, regarding specially that the latter term exists in other contexts.

   Format: Markdownthanks, right, you mentioned this in Zagreb, and I intend to change it. In fact, I thought I should say instead "with grouplike coefficients".

   Format: Markdownfollowing Zoran's complaint, I now changed the terminology throughout (well, I am bound to have missed some occurences). There is now - [[schreiber:differential cohomology - with grouplike coefficients]] - [[schreiber:differential cohomology - with general coefficients]] And the overview/extended abstract entry - [[schreiber:theory of differential nonabelian cohomology]] now indicates the difference between the two

   following Zoran's complaint, I now changed the terminology throughout (well, I am bound to have missed some occurences).

   There is now

   • differential cohomology - with grouplike coefficients (schreiber)

   • differential cohomology - with general coefficients (schreiber)

   And the overview/extended abstract entry

   • theory of differential nonabelian cohomology (schreiber)

   now indicates the difference between the two
