Data element name

<h2 id="example-of-isoiec-11179-name-in-xml">Example of ISO/IEC 11179 name in XML</h2>
<p>Users frequently encounter ISO/IEC 11179 when they are exposed to <a href="/facts/XML/clNgUfWk">XML</a> Data Element names that have a multi-part <a href="/facts/Camel_Case/NtrmzwqN">Camel Case</a> format:
</p>
   Object [Qualifier] Property RepresentationTerm

<p>The specification also includes normative documentation in appendices.
</p><p>For example, the XML element for a person's given (first) name would be expressed as:
</p>
 <PersonGivenName>John</PersonGivenName>

<p>Where Person is the Object=Person, Property=Given and <a href="/facts/Representation_term/clVjSMY5">Representation term</a>="Name".  In this case the optional qualifier is not used, in spite of being implicit in the data element name.  This requires knowledge based on data element name, rather than use of structured data.
