 As an application developer when you need to record an attribute first consult existing semantic conventions for Resources, Spans, and Metrics. If an appropriate name does not exists you will need to come up with a new name. To do that consider a few options:
 
 The name is specific to your company and may be possibly used outside the company as well. To avoid clashes with names introduced by other companies (in a distributed system that uses applications from multiple vendors) it is recommended to prefix the new name by your company’s reverse domain name, e.g. 'com.acme.shopname'.
