Naming Conventions

Below are the naming conventions of the project. These will be checked mechanically in the future.

1. Resource URLs

• Domain: All canonical URLs for artifacts in this IG use the base domain: $BASE = urn://example.com/ph-core

• Structure: The artifact ID is appended to the domain.

• Format:
  {$BASE}/{artifact-id}

• Examples:

  • urn://example.com/ph-core/ph-core-allergyintolerance
  • urn://example.com/ph-core/ph-core-patient
  • urn://example.com/ph-core/birth-place (for an extension)

2. Profile Names

• Format: CamelCase
• Prefix: All profile names must begin with PHCore
  • "PH" (for Philippines) is capitalized.
  • This is followed by the name of the base FHIR resource.
• Examples:
  • PHCoreAllergyIntolerance
  • PHCorePatient

3. Profile IDs

• Format: Lowercase, hyphen-separated
• Prefix: ph-core-, followed by the base resource name in lowercase.
• Examples:
  • ph-core-allergyintolerance
  • ph-core-patient

4. Profile Titles

• Format: Human-readable, Title Case
• Prefix: "PH Core", followed by the base resource name.
• Examples:
  • PH Core AllergyIntolerance
  • PH Core Patient

5. Extension Naming Conventions

Extensions follow the same structure as profiles, with the following exceptions:

• Name: CamelCase, but does not include PHCore
• ID: Lowercase, hyphen-separated, and does not include ph-core
• Title: Human-readable, Title Case, and does not include PH Core
• Examples:
