This rule checks that every enumeration value 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 enumeration value. This is important as enumeration values are often technical codes or abbreviations, and a clear name improves usability, maintainability, searchability, and AI-readiness.

Example

An enumeration value with ID NOM in a wind turbine operational mode property has no name. Users may find it difficult to understand what the value represents. Adding a name such as “Normal Operation” improves clarity and usability.
