From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Field name can mean a number of different things:
- In computer science, a field name identifies a field in a database record or other data structure.
- In the United Kingdom, each field has or had a field name often seen on old parish maps, tithe maps and early and pre Ordnance Survey maps.
- A field name can also mean the geographic designation for a piece of land (Toponymy)
- In any field science, field name refers to the common name and contrasts with the scientific name. For example, in geology potassium aluminum silicate is a scientific name, while microcline is the field name for a type of feldspar. In biology hippocampus bargibanti is a scientific name and pygmy seahorse is a field name for a type of fish. Many of the sciences that classify natural phenomena will have scientific, or "laboratory," names and field names.
