Naming Pattern Validator

A Naming Pattern Validator is a validation system that verifies concept names against established naming conventions.

• AKA: Name Validation System, Naming Convention Checker, Pattern Compliance Validator, Name Rule Checker.
• Context:
  • It can typically check Syntax Compliance against naming rules and formatting standards.
  • It can typically detect Naming Violations such as incorrect capitalization and invalid characters.
  • It can typically verify Suffix Appropriateness for concept types.
  • It can typically validate Prefix-Suffix Combinations using co-occurrence patterns.
  • It can typically ensure Uniqueness Constraints within namespace scopes.
  • ...
  • It can often suggest Correction Alternatives for invalid names.
  • It can often perform Semantic Validation of concept relationships.
  • It can often check Abbreviation Consistency across related concepts.
  • It can often enforce Length Restrictions for identifier names.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Rule-Based Naming Pattern Validator to being an ML-Based Naming Pattern Validator, depending on its validation method.
  • It can range from being a Strict Naming Pattern Validator to being a Permissive Naming Pattern Validator, depending on its tolerance level.
  • It can range from being a Real-Time Naming Pattern Validator to being a Batch Naming Pattern Validator, depending on its processing mode.
  • It can range from being a Domain-Specific Naming Pattern Validator to being a Universal Naming Pattern Validator, depending on its application scope.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Automated Concept Generation for name verification.
  • It can connect to Term Role Lexicons for term classification.
  • It can interface with Knowledge Base Systems for duplicate detection.
  • It can communicate with User Interfaces for feedback provision.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • GM-RKB Naming Validator, checking:
    • Title Case enforcement for significant words
    • Suffix matching to concept types
    • Hyphenation in compound modifiers
    • Parenthetical abbreviation format
  • Wikipedia Title Validator enforcing article naming policy.
  • Programming Language Validators:
    • Python Name Validator for PEP 8 compliance
    • Java Name Validator for camelCase conventions
    • SQL Name Validator for database identifiers
  • Domain-Specific Validators:
    • Scientific Name Validator for binomial nomenclature
    • URL Path Validator for web resources
    • File Name Validator for operating systems
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Spell Checker, which verifies word spelling rather than naming patterns.
  • Grammar Checker, which validates sentence structure rather than identifiers.
  • Random Name Generator, which creates without validation.
