Rule
2
:
Class
Words
are
reserved;
i.e.
they
shall
not
be
used
as
Modifiers
or

Words.
Comment:
A
sufficient
number
of
words
and
the
avoidance
of
confusing
abbreviations
contribute
to
better
naming
standards.

: Each
data
element
name
shall
have
one
Class
Word
taken

list.
Comment:
Missing
Class
Word
- By
restricting
the
data
element
name to one
Class
Word,
the
data
element
is
formulated
to
describe
only
one
use.
If a
data
element
name
does
not
contain
a
Class
Word,
derive
the
Class
Word
from
the
definition.
