Define naming conventions for ontology

Open kathrinblagec opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

To do:

  • [x] Convert all pre-existing class names to normal capitalization.

Naming conventions for the ontology:

  • Use normal capitalization (i.e., no title case)
  • Use singular of terms (unless a class is explicitly referring to some collection or aggregate of entities)
  • American English

To be decided:

  • Delimiters (e.g. hyphenated words, such as 're-ranking')
  • 'Classification' and 'Detection' are sometimes used interchangeabily. Define difference between 'detection' and 'classification' and make this more consistent. Example: 'Intent classification' and 'Intent detection'. Related issue: issue-612537567

I suggest:

  • Normal capitalization (i.e., no title case). Many of the classes imported from Papers With Code are still in title case, though.
  • Singular! (unless a class is explicitly referring to some collection or aggregate of entities)
