While Data Validation Option does not require any specific naming standards for metadata objects, having standard conventions for object names makes managing repository objects easier.

The following table a suggested naming convention that has been used at some customer sites:

OBJECT TYPE	SUGGESTED NAMING STANDARD
Table Pair	tp_<project>_<TableA_name>-<TableB_name>
Single Table Constraint	st_<project>_<Table_name>
Lookup View	lv_<project>_<source_table>-<lookup_table>
SQL View	sv_<project>_alias_name
Join View	jv_<project>_alias_name
Aggregate View	av_<project>_alias_name

It is also easy to filter to find a view in the data source selection dialog box, as shown in the image below:
