In #3283 we found a number of EIA-861 tables with not particularly informative names, leftover from our initial integration of the dataset which we had thought was "interim" but has now been in some form of usage for almost 4 years. Some proposed renames:
Tables to Rename
Note: these are just ideas that came up in review of #3283 and aren't meant to be comprehensive or final. We should talk about whether these names make sense / are consistent with other names and do a more complete review of the bajillion columns in the EIA-861 that we never fully cleaned up.
Lots of the reliability data (SAIDI/SAIFI) have very long names that can maybe be simplified but stay clear?
There's a more generic data modeling issue showing up here, which is that we often have very generic column names which do make decent sense so long as they're in the context of their home table, but outside of that context they'll be mysterious, and they could easily appear in more than one table inadvertently with somewhat different meanings and not be described independently. To what extent do we intend for column names to stand alone? How unique should they be? How much context should we assume the table they are in will provide?
