Abstract
This chapter provides techniques for naming eXtensible Markup Language (XML) element and attribute containers in a manner that aligns with enterprise practices and that leverages the descriptive strengths of XML. A taxonomy is a form of naming or identification. The most common taxonomies also incorporate hierarchical classification and grouping. Names assigned with a specific taxonomy identify a particular object and allow that thing to be classified or grouped with other objects that have similar characteristics. Data architecture taxonomies classify, identify, and describe the content of a data element. Strengths of a taxonomy lie in both specificity and abstraction. The data architect is generally well versed in taxonomy and naming processes and has a tremendous knowledge of enterprise information assets. Regardless of the level of abstraction, specificity, or other taxonomy processes applied to XML, there is an obvious opportunity for data architects to participate and apply their skills.
