naming_conventions.txt

In order to resolve some of the naming confusion in MedBook. I’m proposing the following rules for field names:

1. fields that store guide should end with _id
	EXAMPLES
		 _id (all collections), patient_id, sample_id, gene_id, study_id all would look like a meteor assigned id “AyBE34r7m89rmn6Q3"

NOTE: We are trying to avoid using the mongo-style  ObjectId("5558a3b3d9dd43f9205514a4”) since there are issues with it during scale up that Abigail found the hard way.

2. fields that store short human readable using end with _label suffix are suitable for row and column headings:

	EXAMPLES
		 gene_label: ERG, patient_label: DTB-003, sample_label: DTB-003Pro, study_label: prad_wcdt

3. fields ending with _name are longer that labels and would be used for titles of pages where more space is available.
	
	EXAMPLES
		gene_name: Androgen Receptor
		study_name: West Coast Prostate Cancer Dream Team
