This rule checks that every view property in the data model has a human-readable name.

Why it matters

A missing name makes it harder for users (humans or machines) to understand the purpose of the view property. This is important as view property IDs are often based on technical identifiers, abbreviations, or other opaque values. Providing a clear name improves usability, maintainability, searchability, and AI-readiness.

Example

The WindTurbine view has a property pc with no name. Users may find it difficult to understand what the property represents without looking up the ID in documentation or other resources. Adding a name such as “power curve” improves clarity and usability.
