Abstract

This part of ISO/IEC 11179 provides rules and guidelines for naming and identification of data elements. It describes the components and structure of data element identification. Identification is narrowly defined to encompass only the means to establish unique identification of data elements within a register. It defines the identifying attributes; describes the relationship of the attributes to each other; includes principles by which naming conventions can be developed; and describes an example naming convention. The naming guidelines described herein can also be applied to names of data concepts in addition to names of data elements. 

This part of ISO/IEC 11179 should be used in conjunction with those which establish rules and procedures for attributing, classifying, defining, and registering data elements.
