# DataModelMissingName validation rule

> Validates that the data model has a human-readable name. Ensures usability, maintainability, searchability, and AI-readiness.

This rule checks that every data model has a human-readable name.

## Why it matters

Often the data model IDs are technical identifiers or abbreviations. A missing name makes it harder for users (humans or machines) to understand what the data model represents.

## Example

A data model with ID `IEC61400-25-2` has no name. Users may find it difficult to understand what this data model
represents. However, adding a name such as `Wind Energy Information Model` would increase clarity and usability.
