Naming conventions for new Modules
This topic is to agree the naming conventions that should be applied to the future creation of new modules, especially now that derivative products will be produced with their own modules assigned to them rather than the core
The following conventions are a starting point for the discussion - please comment on them, and add any new ones that you feel should be included:
Proposed convention | Agree/disagree? | Reason |
---|---|---|
All created module names should begin with the name of the organisation creating them. So, for example, all IHTSDO created modules should start with either "IHTSDO" or "International Health Terminology Standards Development Organization". This will clearly distinguish them from modules that are created by the NRC's, and vice-versa. |

|
All module names should then contain a brief description of the proposed content of the module (eg) general and family practitioner module, etc |
