Naming

Naming and name spaces are important in a lot of contexts:

• natural language (naming things, people, places, …)
• programming languages (think about scoping, encapsulation, C's static, inheritance, …)
• networking (Addresses, DNS, IDs for various types of sessions like in TCP or RPC, …)
• crypto (Identifiers in certificates, fingerprints in PGP, …)
• law (Trademarks, libels, …)

Unfortunately, computer science is mostly ignoring the whole topic. In the hope to change this a little, I'm building a bibliography/link list on naming.
Additions, corrections and comments are welcome!
