Hi junior AX,

There is no written best practice for this. Usually, an abbreviation is used as it would be much shorter.

When doing some personal development and code sharing, I use for the name "Dynamicspedia" the prefix "DynPed". In this case, "DP" would be too generic in my opinion. I find "Dynamicspedia" a bit too long for a prefix.

Personally, I would choose for WLC as prefix for element names for your example

Hi, As Andre mentioned its your preference but better to keep it short and I too would use WLC for WonderLandCompany.

Hi,
The naming prefix in the model should be as short as possible and can indicate the purpose of the model, and there are no special naming rules. In addition, I found related articles on naming model elements and naming extensions for you, and you can briefly view them if you need them.

Hi Junior,

As all suggested there is no naming convention for model name.

But you can provide information about the model under Model description text box. You can provide information about the objects that will hold the models, for examples the tables.

Thanks,

Girish S.
