# Naming conventions

For each concept in the model, product, specification, type, and so on, there is an entity template and, typically, a corresponding folder template (for example, each type of entity is kept in a folder). The naming convention is that the folder template name is plural and the entity template name is singular. For example: `Specification` represents a specification entity and `Specifications` represents the folder in which the specifications are stored.

The product data model consists of data that is stored in separate repositories and data that is specific to a given product. For settings that relate to the specific product, the corresponding template name is prefixed with the word `Product`. For example, the generic specification template is called `specification`, whereas the product specific specification template is called `ProductSpecification`
