....data in a database is also included. The thesaurus is a meta database that focuses on names which are central to system builders thinking and thus influence the way software is organised. Meaningful names are important for problem solving, understanding of semantic structure and retention (Barnard et al. 1982, Weiser Shneiderman 1987, Anand 1988) The choice of names for identifiers is crucial for the readability of programs and is particularly important when trying to administer and manage change. The meanings attached to names are relatively stable when dealing with concepts at an abstract level ....

.... automatic detection tools would be useful for all the applications. 3.2 Use of Names Names are central to system builders thinking and thus influence the way software is organised. Meaningful names are important for problem solving, understanding of semantic structure and memorisation [28 30]. Within an application people should use names with a consistent intended meaning. The choice of names for identifiers is crucial for the readability of programs and is particularly important when trying to administer and manage change. A property of a name is its length. There may be different ....

....model, to relation type in the relational model, etc. 4 This is a particular problem in systems where types can be defined in different scopes, but in relational systems, for example, a relation name must always be unique due to flat name space. 4 semantic structure and memorisation [8, 33]. Within an application people should use names with a consistent intended meaning. The choice of names for identifiers is crucial to the readability of programs and is particularly important when trying to administer and manage change. Orthogonal to the constraint categories described above are ....
