Personal naming practices exist in all human groups and are far from random. Rather, they continue to reflect social norms and ethno-cultural customs that have developed over generations.

Background: Although ontology naming conventions have been proposed by policy makers, the lack of tool support for testing and enforcing naming practices has hindered widespread compliance. We have developed OntoCheck, a Protégé plugin, which allows testing labels in an ontology on naming inconsistencies. Objective: We report on initial experience in applying the tool in different settings and ...

This paper proposes the hierarchical naming scheme, which is a way of naming and addressing suitable for large-scale distributed systems. FIrst, assumptions of the systems are provided, and features required for naming in the systems are discussed. Then, the methods for giving location-independent IDs and addresses representing objects' location are proposed. Our scheme constructs global IDs an...

A functional and systematic typology of toponyms is an essential instrument for the toponymist wishing to investigate naming practices patterns a region.

Younger and older Korean participants viewed images from the International Affective Picture System (IAPS), were tested for recall and r...
