Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention pertain to implementation of textual names as the actual identifiers of elements of models. A structured system provided for constructing the textual names so as to be unique in a specific context. In one embodiment, namespaces are added to a name as a mechanism for ensuring uniqueness across multiple development sources. In one embodiment, upon deployment to a runtime environment, alternate names are assigned to support efficient processing.
