Labeling (aka "naming") is the act of giving some entity or concept a name. Contrast this with the act of giving an entity an *identifier*. Identifiers are usually unique within a system and tend not to be easy to say or remember. Labels are usually nouns or noun phrases that are descriptive, memorable, and pronouncable. --- **Related**: <!-- IQ: =this.related -->[[Concepts/information architecture.md\|IA]], [[Concepts/taxonomy.md\|taxonomy]], [[Concepts/information organization.md\|information organization]]<!-- /IQ -->
