In the next section, 3.4 Working with naming standards, you will learn how to modify the
naming standards so that when you validate the logical data model, your entities and
attributes are mostly in compliance with the items in the glossary model.
Note:
You are not required to fix warnings in the Problems view to create a valid, usable data
model. In this case, the warnings let you know that the current names of the data objects are
not in line with your glossary model. You can take steps to either update the naming
standard options or edit the names of the data objects to be compliant with the glossary
model.
3.4 Working with naming standards
Now that we've created a glossary model, let's set up the naming standard that the data
design projects in your workspace should adhere to. After working with university officials,
you decide that it makes the most sense to display descriptive class words before prime
words when you name attributes and columns. You decide to go into the workbench
preferences to set the naming standard.
To specify the naming standards for physical and logical data models and glossary models,
open the Preferences window:
1. Click Window -> Preferences. The Preferences window opens.
2. Expand the Data Management node and select Naming Standard.
3. Make sure the Logical tab is open.
4. In the Entity section, specify the following order:
a. Modifier (optional)
b. Class word (optional)
