3.2.1. Naming Conventions

Naming of elements and attributes in iLingo follow a very simple set of rules:

  1. Abbreviations are not used unless there is a very good reason (e.g. a common industry acronym that is easier to recognize then the fully-expanded name).
  2. A period is used to separate words.
  3. All lower case is used.
  4. Consistent names are used among similar constructs (e.g. similar attributes with different subjects use the same prefix or suffix).
