Perhaps pick a better name that isn't confusing. In industry what your definition refers to is called "generic programming" if I understand correctly.

I didn't choose the term "Data-Oriented programming" It was used by Cognitect folks to promote clojure [1] and actually it was coined by Eugene Kutznetsov in 2004 [2]

As you know, naming is one of the two hard things in programming.
