For a very recent document that can provide you with interesting insights I direct you to: http://www.iph.uni-rostock.de/GoodOD-Guideline.1299.0.html
Naming is one of the good ontology design issues that is considered and evaluated. Not only for the ontoogy name itself but also naming all the components (Classes, Properties, individuals, …)
Yours

Assunto: [ontolog-forum] Evaluating Knowledge Representation (KR), Proper Naming
Dear colleagues, fellow ontologists and Knowledge Representation experts:
I have two questions that are of direct importance to my dissertation that is most directly related to the subject I am discussing here.
Questions I am asking might seem naive, but I am attempt is to actually be precise and specific with terms that are casually used
hence I am asking this expert group:
1. Is Knowledge Representation an artifact? If one is to develop a KR for a particular domain (hypothetically speaking - skin cancer detection and diagnosis)
would it most appropriate labeling be Skin Cancer Knowledge Representation, Skin Cancer Knowledge Representation Scheme,
Skin Cancer Knowledge Representation Framework or Knowledge Representation for Skin Cancer?
2. If one is to develop a KR for Skin Cancer, what would be the way to evaluate the KR? What would be the method and the criteria.
I will be most grateful for your advices and references to a good, practical literature on this topic. I think I made a solid progress on this
subject in my dissertation proposal, but I would like to "tighten" it up.
