Content Model Naming Conventions
When creating new namespaces, document types, compound types, node types, nodes and properties, please follow the best practices as outlined below:
| Item | Naming Convention | Example(s) |
| Namespace Prefix | All lower case | myhippoproject |
| Namespace URI | URI (include organization, project and version number) | http://www.mycompany.com/myhippoproject/1.0 |
| Node Type (Document Type, Compound Type) Name | camelCase | myhippoproject:newsArticle |
| Node Name | lower case with dashes | best-beaches-in-europe |
| Property Name | camelCase | myhippoproject:firstName |
Note that some existing JCR items in Hippo Repository may not follow this best practice for backward compatibility.
All names must conform to the JCR 2.0 specification (see section 3.2 "Names").
