Are the naming conventions used in this data model generally accepted in fields outside of education?
Naming of classes, entities, and attributes in the Data Model was influenced by the well documented and accepted ISO/EEC 11179 standards. For example, the Data Model hierarchy has the following properties: • Unique Names • Many items follow the multi-part naming convention, i.e., [Object] [Qualifier] Property RepresentationTerm. • A classification framework in which items can be located using dot notation such as classname.classname.entity.attribute.
