See: https://cap.cloud.sap/docs/guides/domain-modeling#naming-conventions There are plenty of entity names in examples in this CDL topic. Some of them are "real" in that they are genuine representations such as Orders and Products. These should be subject to the naming convention best practice of being pluralised. Others are clearly illustrative only, such as the Foo, Bar, Baz set and those conveying meaning for the given example such as EmployeeView, SomeView, P, Proj, SomeExposedEntity and so on. These should not be subject to the naming convention. Note: Perhaps we should add something to the naming convention section itself to qualify the boundary of where it applies, i.e. "mostly" at the schema level, less so at the service definition level?
