Data Source Naming

The data source name is an important part of configuring OpenSpirit data sources. The name is part of an OpenSpirit data key string and is used by OpenSpirit enabled applications to find the data in the source projects. Many applications save the OpenSpirit data key string with the data transferred via OpenSpirit, so any updates can be written back to the original source project. It is critical that the data source name stays constant. Avoid changing data source names as you upgrade OpenSpirit and the associated applications.

With this in mind makes sure you pick a name generic enough to withstand upgrades but specific enough so your users can easily find their data.
