Overview
Naming Conventions
When naming Concept Domains, the following naming conventions will be applied:
- Concept Domain names shall begin with the applicable parent class name (Act, Entity or Role) as appropriate.
- Concept Domains shall end with Type
Act Examples
Where PrintName is the name of the domain being considered for addition, the following examples attempt to illustrate the application of the naming conventions.
ActReason
ActReason -> ActPrintName'ReasonType
ActConsentType
ActConsentType -> ActPrintNameConsentType
ObservationType Subdomain
ObservationType -> ActPrintNameObservationType
Role and Entity Examples
For the RoleCode and EntityClass concept domains, the concatenation of the Class and Type strings will be added as a suffix to the PrintName.
RoleCode
RoleCode -> PrintName'RoleType'
SpecializedRoleType -> PrintNameSpecializedRoleType
EntityCode
EntityCode -> PrintName'EntityType'
SpecializedEntityType -> PrintNameSpecializedEntityType
Backwards Compatibility
There will be no effort to modify existing concept domains to adhere to the naming conventions specified here. Any modification of an existing domain name will necessitate an update to all models making use of that domain. For the time being, this effort is considered unreasonable and focus will be directed at ensuring new domains are named in accordance with the recommended naming conventions.
