Vocabulary

Dataset vs. data set

Spell “dataset” as one word because it matches the industry spelling used by the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC).

Name vs. label vs. title

Use “name” as the default, and when needed, opt for “label”. Avoid “title” to prevent ambiguity, as it can refer to either a name or a role/position. Reserve “title” for English honorifics like Mr. and Mrs., or when mentioning job roles.
