I import tables of time-series data from spreadsheets.  The
application transforms (abstracts) the time series data using SPARQL queries
to feed downstream models/modelers.

I have a question relative to best practices for naming the elements like
this (or not naming them).

I use an instance name pattern of MeasurementSourceName_dateTimeMeasured
so I get URI's like
http://www.mycompanyname.com/owl/2009/12/fieldName#hughes_13_horizontal_20081221T123000
This is quite a long URI pattern repeated for thousands of points - Does it
matter? I have tried numbering the points "_P#", but this would cause issues
for inserting new points into the series and I would have to start
subsequent imports from the highest point number + 1.
Would it be better to use anonymous instances? Would there be a loss of
functionality?   Is it possible to have the spreadsheet importer create its
own unique instance names automatically or create anonymous instances?

Regards
Arthur

>From User Manual
"Pattern for instance names:* This defines the pattern that instance names
are created with, when they are imported. In this example, it is *%2-%1*,
which means that an instance name would look like [name of a column #2
item]-[name of a column #1 item]. If there are items *John* in column #1,
and *Doe* in column #2 in the same row, then this would be created as *
Doe-John*."
