I would add specifc naming standards for the Logical Model since it is not dependent upon a DBMS. A short list of standards would include:
- Ending all Data Attribute/Element names with a Classword
- Not allowing one-word names for Data Attributes
- Limiting the number of words in the data attribute name to maybe five
- Qualifying words on the front end of root word within the attribute name
