RDF Vocabulary Term Naming Conventions

The naming convention for RDF vocabularies is to start type names and individual names with an uppercase letter and property names with a lowercase letter. The names themselves are camelcased. Acronyms are treated like words in that only the first letter is ever uppercased unless it begins a property name in which case it is lowercased.
